Negative derivative feedback for vibration control of flexible structures

Abstract

In this paper a resonant control technique, called negative derivative feedback (NDF), for structural vibration control is presented. Resonant control is a class of control logics, based on the modal approach, which calculates the control action through a dynamic compensator in order to achieve a damping increase on a certain number of system modes. The NDF compensator is designed to work as a band-pass filter, cutting off the control action far from the natural frequencies associated with the controlled modes and reducing the so-called spillover effect. In the paper the proposed control logic is compared both theoretically and experimentally with the most common state-of-the-art resonant control techniques.

On the use of electrical and optical strain gauges paired to magnetostrictive patch actuators

“…One of the most efficient way to reduce vibration is to actively increase the system damping and, as a consequence, the energy dissipation associated to it [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The control forces can be designed as…”

Research on the rigid-flexible multibody dynamics of concrete placing boom

“…Cazzulani G. et al proposed a virtual prototype model and analyzed the dynamic performance of a concrete placing boom test rig. With the proposed model, they studied a negative derivative feedback control strategy to suppress the vibration at the boom tip [6][7][8], and researched on problems of the manipulator's health monitoring [9]. Oliver Lenord et al studied the dynamic performance of a controlled hydraulically driven elastic manipulator based on an interdisciplinary model [10].…”

An adaptive non-model-based control strategy for smart structures vibration suppression

“…Moreover, when designers have to deal with lightweight components, generally characterized by low damping on a wide range of frequencies, or with low frequency vibration control, the introduction of structural damping is not feasible and AVC becomes a very accurate approach. Among the others the model-based solutions, such as optimal control 1 or modal control, [2][3][4][5][6] allow to reach very high performance in the vibration suppression. However for non-linear and time-varying systems, an attractive solution is represented by the use of adaptive feedback controls able to modify in real time the control law gains to follow the system parameters change.…”
