Vibration suppression can be performed by digital filtering the input to the flexible system. Traditional digital filters have been proved to be efficient for vibration suppression, when they are properly designed. In order to ensure the proper filter design, the Delay-ErrorOrder (DEO) curves are introduced, to be used as a filter design tool. Based on the DEO curves, the vibration suppression ...

This paper presents a new approach to vibration reduction of >exible spacecraft during attitude control by using pulse width pulse frequency (PWPF) modulator for thruster Cring and smart materials for active vibration suppression. The experiment was conducted on the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)’s >exible spacecraft simulator (FSS), which consists of a central rigid body and an L-shape >exibl...

This paper presents an investigation into development of feed-forward and feedback control strategies for active vibration suppression and attitude control of flexible spacecrafts. The feed-forward loop consists of a computed-torque scheme and a command shaping technique based on component synthesis vibration suppression (CSVS) method which was developed based on linear systems theory. For rela...

Many vibration suppression systems are required to function across a variety of different temperatures, yet most literature ignores the effects of temperature changes on the structure and on the closed loop response. This paper presents an experimental implementation of a vibration suppression system based on a piezoceramic actuator that effectively controls vibration of a clamped panel as it u...

The tip position control of a single-link flexible manipulator is considered in this paper. The cross-sectional dimension of the manipulator is tuned by genetic algorithms such that the first vibration mode dominates the higher order vibrations. A sliding mode controller of reduced dimension is employed to control the manipulator using the rigid and vibration measurements as feedback. Control e...

Over the past 10 years there has been a growing need to introduce closed-loop control technology for vibration suppression of buildings subject to wind or earthquake disturbances. This paper deals with the investigation of the effectiveness of a fuzzy logic based time variable damping tuned mass damper (TMD) on a building structure undergoing free and forced vibrations. The uniqueness of this a...

because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...

This article presents the design and analysis of a novel dynamic stiffness tuning vibration absorber working with Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE). In this design, the MRE worked in a shear mode, but its MR effect was significantly enhanced by dynamically squeezing the sample thickness with an embedded piezoelectric (PZT) actuator. With this design, both the quasi-static magnetic field and t...

This paper presents an adaptive control scheme for simultaneous precision positioning and vibration suppression of intelligent structures. First, the structure and materials system of an active composite panel with piezoelectric ceramic patches are introduced. An adaptive control scheme, which consists of an adaptive feedback and two adaptive feedforward controllers, is then proposed. The two a...

Importance of vibration problems increases with the smaller emittance of a storage ring for synchrotron radiation source. Vertical emittance of the SPring-8 storage ring is so small that effect of vibration to an electron beam can not be neglected. We thus studied the vibration of the SPring-8 storage ring. Measurements of beam oscillation and magnet vibration were done and the relation between...
