Abstract:A control strategy is presented incorporating friction which can be adapted within a cycle of vibration. During base shock input, the friction is switched on and off based on specified response parameters. The predicted response of a semi active system is compared with that of a passive isolation system. The strategy is shown to produce an improved displacement reduction and a smaller maximum displacement compared to the base input; a result which cannot be obtained with a typical passive system. The models ar… Show more
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.
