A review of biodynamic feedthrough mitigation techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT) refers to a phenomenon where accelerations cause involuntary limb motions which, when coupled to a control device, can result in unintentional control inputs. Biodynamic feedthrough can occur in many different vehicles and under various conditions, which makes it highly relevant to study its mechanisms. In this paper the possible biodynamic feedthrough mitigation techniques are discussed and evaluated. From these, two solution types are regarded to be the most promising. Measures of the first solution type are already commonly applied and consist of passive measures to restrain and immobilize body parts. The second solution type is the model-based cancellation approach, where use is made of a BDFT model to obtain a canceling signal. The model-based cancellation approach is currently investigated.

Model-Based Cancellation of Biodynamic Feedthrough Using a Force-Reflecting Joystick
Manual control performance on-board a moving vehicle is often impeded by biodynamic feedthrough—the effects of vehicle motion feeding through the operator’s body to produce unintended forces on the control interface. In this paper, we propose and experimentally test a model-based controller that acts through a motorized manual interface to cancel the effects of biodynamic feedthrough. The cance...
متن کاملRobust Controller Design for Cancelling Biodynamic Feedthrough
There are many manual control tasks in which the operator base moves in response to joystick movement. Base motion feedback can interfere with the joystick and operator dynamics, resulting in instability and reduced performance. This paper proposes a novel approach to the cancellation of such “biodynamic feedthrough”. A model-based approach is used to formulate a μ-synthesis robust performance ...
متن کاملA Practical Biodynamic Feedthrough Model for Helicopters
Biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT) occurs when vehicle vibrations and accelerations feed through the pilot’s body and cause involuntary motion of limbs, resulting in involuntary control inputs. BDFT can severely reduce ride comfort, control accuracy and, above all, safety during the operation of rotorcraft. Furthermore, BDFT can cause and sustain Rotorcraft-Pilot Couplings (RPCs). Despite many studi...
متن کاملA Review on Crude Oil Fouling and Mitigation Methods in Pre-heat Trains of Iranian Oil Refineries
Crude oil fouling of the equipment surfaces is a troublesome issue which leads to operating difficulties, economic penalties, increased environmental impacts, and health and safety hazards in petroleum industry. With a rough estimation, a minimum cost of equal to 4 million barrels of oil/year is required to be invested to offset the costs of crude oil fouling in Pre-heat Trains of Iranian oil r...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Vibration Feedthrough and Feedthrough Cancellation in Joystick Controlled Vehicles
The inertial forces acting on operators of joystick controlled machinery in moving vehicles can produce unwanted control signals through the joystick. These forces tend to deteriorate continuous tracking performance and further, when the machinery in control is the vehicle itself, they may lead to unstable oscillations that jeopardize that vehicle’s safe operation. In this paper, we propose the...
