The main distinguishing characteristic of active vibration control

Abstract

Active Vibration Control (AVC) stands out as a prominent technique in the realm of vibration mitigation and structural dynamics. Unlike passive vibration control methods that rely on dampers or isolators, AVC systems actively manipulate forces or motions within a structure in real-time to counteract undesirable vibrations. In this paper, the main distinguishing characteristic of AVC lies in its proactive approach, wherein control algorithms and actuators are employed to actively sense and respond to dynamic changes in the system. The application of Newton’s second law allows to model of the vibration sensors operation, followed by simulations to improve their performance, contributes to the advancement of the active vibration control system by enabling more precise detection and measurement of vibrations.
