VIBRATION SUPPRESSION USING MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS

Semi-Active Pulse-Switching SSDC Vibration Suppression using Magnetostrictive Materials

One of the best vibration control methods using smart actuators are semi-active approaches which are as strong as active methods and need no external energy supply such as passive ones. Compared with piezoelectric-based, magnetostrictive-based control methods have higher coupling efficiency, higher Curie temperature, higher flexibility to be integrated with curved structures and no depolarizati...

Vibration Suppression of Smart FGM Cylindrical Shells Using Magnetostrictive Layers

In the present work, FGM shells integrated with magnetostrictive layers acting as distributed sensors and actuators are modeled to control vibration attenuation of FGM shells with simply supported boundaryconditions. To achieve a mechanism for actively control of the oscillation amplitude of the integrated structure, a negative velocity proportional feedback control law is implemented in the st...

Structural Vibration Suppression Using Fuzzy Logic

This paper designs a fuzzy logic controller to suppress the vibrations of a large space antenna-like ground experimental structure located at the JPL/AFPL Large Spacecraft Control Laboratory. This fuzzy logic controller provides a simple, yet robust, means to the vibration control of a highly uncertain structural system.

Modeling Mechatronic Systems Using the Sidops + Language

Automated modeling is a field of research that is subject to considerable evolution. Both the increase in available computer power and better insight in the modeling and design process lead to a stream of new opportunities for automated modeling support. To make this support possible, a language is needed that forms the medium for the exchange of information between the computer and the user. I...
