Abstract

This work presents experimental results on vibration control of flexible structures using the squeeze mode electrorheological(ER) mount. An appropriate size of the squeeze mode ER mount is devised and its field-dependent damping force characteristics are experimentally evaluated. The ER mount is then applied to two different flexible structures : beam structure and frame structure. An optimal controller associated with displacement and acceleration signals is designed to suppress the imposed vibration and experimentally realized using the microprocessor. Vibration control responses of the flexible structures such as acceleration are evaluated in time and frequency domains.

이 논문에서는 제어 가능한 ER 마운트를 이용한 유연 구조물의 진동제어 성능을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 압착 모드형 ER 마운트를 설계하고, 전기장 인가에 따른 댐핑력 특성을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 제작된 ER 마운트를 빔과 프레임 형태의 유연 구조물에 적용하였고, 최적 제어기를 사용하여 시간 영역과 주파수 영역에서 진동제어 성능을 평가하였다.
