Feedback control unit with an inerter proof-mass electrodynamic actuator
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study the use of an inerter is considered for active vibration control of a structure excited by white noise. The structure is modelled as a single degree of freedom system and the control system consists of a vibration absorber with a mass suspended on a spring, a damper and an inerter. The absorber is equipped with a reactive force transducer velocity of the structure under control measured by an ideal collocated sensor. The effect of the inerter on the control stability and performance of the control system is investigated. It is shown that the effect of the inerter is to reduce the natural frequency of the inertial actuator, improving the stability of the feedback loop and thus its performance. The optimisation of the physical and control parameters of the control system such as the internal damping of the actuator, its natural frequency, its inertance and the feedback gain are considered such that either the kinetic energy of the host structure is minimised or the power dissipated by the control system is maximised. & 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This paper presents the design study of a lightweight inertial actuator, with integrated velocity sensor, for the implementation of velocity feedback control, i.e. active damping, in lightly-damped panels. The arrangement provides a collocated force actuator and velocity sensor device so that, in principle, an unconditionally stable direct velocity feedback loop could be implemented. However, t...

The paper discusses the design and performance of a novel type of passive control system used for suppressing unwanted vibrations in civil engineering structures subjected to both lateral and base excitation. The new control system is inspired by the traditional tuned mass damper (TMD) with the modification that the mass is replaced by an inerter. An inerter has a two-terminal flywheel device c...

An innovative magnetically levitated system design is presented in this paper. The proof mass, used as the seismic detection components for gyroscopes, is levitated by the presented micro-coil actuator so that the concerns that mechanical fatigue, asymmetry and misalignments, which are inevitably present in the traditional mechanical springs design, can be ruled out. In addition, the limited ra...
