Active control method is applied to a flexible beam excited by a shock impulse in order to reduce the residual vibrations after the shock event. It is assumed that the shock input can be measured and is always occurred on the same point of the beam. If the system is well identified and the corresponding inverse system is designed reliably, it has shown that a very simple feed-forward active control method may be applied to suppress the residual vibrations without using error sensors and adaptive algorithm. Both numerical simulations and experimental results show a promising possibility of applying to a practical problem. Also, the performance of the method is examined by considering various practical aspects : shock duration, shock magnitude, and control point.

It is reported that an intermittently rotating chamber system will improve the ratio of firepower to armament space in the case of mid-calibre automatic guns. However, the parallel index, which is a main component of the system, tends to be torsionally flexible due to the low lateral stiffness of cam followers on the index turret. This may cause the shaft system connecting the turret with the chamber prone to considerable residual torsional vibration so that serious misalignment problems occur during ammunition loading and firing processes. Herein, an electrorhelogical (ER) fluid actuator that can suppress such vibrations and the associated semiactive control algorithm are proposed. By mathematical modeling and computer simulations, the performance of the entire system is proved satisfactory.

A method of obtaining a control input to reduce residual vibration was developed for nonlinear time-varying systems moving along pre-determined two dimensional paths. First, the nonlinear system equation was solved with nominal input then linearized by nominal response which is defined at equilibrium point. Next an additional input can be obtained by solving the linearized equation that should satisfied the required boundary conditions. Residual vibration reduction was experimentally verified by applying the control input, which is sum of nominal and additional input, to a moving pendulum whose length is varying time.

Input shaping is a method for reducing residual vibration in computer controlled machines. Vibration is eliminated by convolving a sequence of impulses, an input shaper, with a desired system command to produce a shaped input. This paper shows the shape of sensitivity curve of input shaper as impulse interval T and analysis of robustness for input shaper on the z-plane. And a method is presented for designing equivalent input shaper considering sampling time $T_s$. And then we applied equivalent input shaper to crane system.

본 논문은 정밀 위치결정 시스템의 잔류진동을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 입력성형기법을 소개하고, 실시간 입력성형기법을 적용하는 방법을 설명하였다. 또한 두 가지 응용 분야에 대한 실험결과를 바탕으로 입력성형기법의 성능을 고찰하였다. 일반적으로 입력성형기법은 정밀 위치결정 시스템에 대해 동작 완료시간을 단축시키는 효과가 있을 뿐만 아니라 위치결정 정밀도를 향상시키는 효과가 있다. 그리고 되먹임제어 방법에 비해 적용방법도 간단하며 저렴하게 구성할 수 있다는 장점이 있으므로 많은 정밀 위치결정 시스템에 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

This study investigates the seismic responses of two structures connected by a sky-bridge equipped with viscoelastic dampers (VED) at the bridge-building connections. The applicability of the method is verified first by observing RMS (root-mean-squared) responses of two-degrees-of-freedom systems subjected to white noise ground excitation. Then model structures with various number of stories are analyzed using earthquake ground motions to observe the effect of the varying size of VED on the reduction of dynamic responses. According to the analysis results, there exists a proper size of VED which minimizes the structural responses. It is also observed that the effectiveness of VED increases as the difference of natural frequencies between the two connected structures increases.

A method for actively controlling dynamic reaction forces in flexible structures subject to persistent excitations is presented. Since reaction forces are not directly measured in flexible structures, reaction forces are estimated by using the Kalman filter. The estimated reaction force is used as an error signal in the adaptive feedforward disturbance cancellation controller. In order to compensate the static effect of the truncated modes in the reaction forces, the residual flexibility matrix is used with the Kalman filter. The paper presents the formulation of the reaction forces in conjunction with the Kalman filter estimator and the adaptive feedforward controller. The results show that the dynamic reaction forces at its supports in a flexible beam test rir are well suppressed.

This paper discusses the dynamics and control problem of an overhead shuttle system (OSS), which is a critical part of the automated container terminal at a port. The main purpose of the OSS is efficient automated transport function of containers, which also requires high precision and safety. A major difference between the OSS and the conventional container crane is the configuration of the cables for hoisting the spreader. A mathematical model of the OSS is developed here for the first time, which results in an eight-pole system. Also, open loop control methods (trapezoidal and notch-type velocity profiles) are investigated so that the command input to the overhead shuttle produces the minimum possible sway of the payload. Simulation results show that the vibration suppression capability of the OSS is superior to the conventional overhead container crane, which is partially due to the cable configuration.

In this paper, the dual stage interaction between the coarse actuator and the fine actuator of an optical disk drive and the control method to enhance the track pull-in performance are discussed. First, the interaction analyses for the dual stage, and the experiments to find the each actuator dynamics are studied. From the experiments results, some physical parameters was derived, then, some simulations are performed to find the residual vibration effect of the fine actuator during seek motion. Second, the fine actuator control method to reduce the relative velocity, which is a key factor in track pull-in performance, between the target track and beam spot is proposed. From simulations, we show that fine actuator control which has same frequency and same phase of the disturbance is effective to reduce the relative velocity, hence, the control method is good approach in the track pull-in enhancement. Finally, the some comments are discussed briefly.
