An experimental study has been made for the synchronous vibration control of a rotor-bearing system using a magnetic actuator to supply the control forces. Both open- and closed-loop strategies were implemented using measured displacement signals from various transducer configurations. Model reduction based on dominant mode methods was used to aid the design of the closed-loop strategies. These were based on pole placement techniques. It was shown that state feedback, without co-location of sensors and actuator, can be used to suppress critical speed responses without encountering spillover problems. The robustness of the strategies was also assessed by deleting selected feedback paths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
