Vibrations caused by automobile engine are absorbed mostly by a passive-type engine mount. However, user specifications for automobile vibrations require more stringent conditions and higher standard. Hence, active-type engine mount have been developed to cope with such specifications. The active-type engine mount consists of sensor, actuator and controller where a control algorithm is implemented. The performance of the active engine mount depends on the control algorithm if the sensor and actuator satisfies the specification. The control algorithm should be able to suppress persistent vibrations caused by the engine which are related to engine revolution. In this study, three control algorithms are considered for suppressing persistent vibrations, which are the positive position feedback control algorithm, the strain-rate feedback control algorithm, and the modified higher harmonic control algorithm. Experimental results show that all the control algorithms considered in this study are effective in suppressing resonant vibrations but the modified higher harmonic controller is the most effective controller for non-resonant vibrations.

This research is concerned with the application of the active linear actuator to the active vibration control of structure. The active linear actuator will be mounted on the sub-frame so that it can cancel the excitation transferred from the engine. Accelerometer mounted on the sub-frame detects the vibration and its signal is fed into the DSP controller where the control algorithm is installed. The output of the DSP controller is connected to the driver which amplifies the DSP output. In general, the pulse width modulation power amplifier is used to drive the voice-coil type actuator. This study shows the dynamic characteristics of the active linear actuator and active vibration control experimental results.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of beam equipped with piezoceramic sensors and actuators. The single-input and single-output positive position feedback controller is considered as an active vibration controller for the beam. The proposed single-input and single-output positive position feedback controller can cope with many modes of interest by summing each positive position feedback controller designed for each mode. In this paper, theoretical formulation is first explained in detail. We discuss how to design the single-input and single-output positive position feedback controller for a target structure by considering Euler-Bemoulli beam. It is found that the theories developed in this study are capable of predicting the control system characteristics and its performance.

In this paper, a saturated LQR controller considering control input's saturation for stable linear time-invariant systems with single control input is studied. Based on Lyapunov stability, two linear matrix inequality sufficient existence conditions for this controller are presented. Through numerical simulations for 2DOF vibrating system, it is confirmed that the saturated LQR controller is stable in the presence of control input's saturation and it is also shown that this controller can be applied to vibrating system practically.

In this paper, a composite controller cosisted of bandpass feedback controller and LQG/LTR controller is applied to a quarter-car model moving on a randomly profiled road. The LQG/LTR controller is used to achieve a design transfer toop. A bandpass feedback controller is adopted to eliminate the response due to the disturbance, which generally can not be measured, confined within an interested frequence range. The random road profile considered as colored noise is shaped from white noise by use of shaping filter. The performance of the composite control system is compared with that of an LQG/LTR control system.

In this paper, a recurrent cerebellar modulation articulation control (RCMAC) has been developed for improvement of noise attenuation performance in active noise control system. For the narrow band noise, a filter-x least mean square (FXLMS) method has bee frequently employed as an algorithm for active noise control (ANC) and has a partial satisfactory noise attenuation performance. However, noise attenuation performance of an ANC system with FXLMS method is poor for broad band noise and nonlinear path since it has linear filtering structure. Thus, an ANC system using RCMAC is proposed to improve this problem. Some simulations in duct system using harmonic motor noise and KTX cabin noise as a noise source were executed. It is shown that satisfactory noise attenuation performance can be obtained.

In this study, an ROC(Reduced Order Controller) is designed to increase the flutter velocity of an aircraft wing, and the effect of ROC on the flight performance is also analyzed. The aircraft wing used in the paper is modelled as a 3 DOF two-dimensional rigid body. In the disign of controller, LQG and BACR(Balanced Augmented Controller Reduction) strategy is used as control algorithm and controller reduction method respectively. Simulation has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ROC on the active flutter control, compared to FOC(Full Order Controller). It has been found that ROC using BACR is much effective than FOC in the sense of computation effort, without sacrificing the active flutter control performance.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of elevator by means of the active roller guide. To this end, a dynamic model for the horizontal vibration of the elevator consisting of a supporting frame, cage and active roller guides was derived using the energy method. Free vibration analysis was then carried out based on the equations of motion. Active vibration controller was designed based on the equations of motion using the LQR theory and applied to the numerical model. Rail irregularity and wind pressure variation were considered as external disturbance in the numerical simulations. The numerical results show that the active vibration control of elevator is possible.

In this paper, it is discussed that active noise control in a circular duct using smart foam. Firstly, it is demonstrated that the potential of the conventional smart foam, proposed by Fuller, for active noise control in a duct. Conventional smart foam is not applicable to active noise control in a duct having flow. Thus, this paper presents a ring-type smart foam as an alternative. The ring-type smart foam consists of polyurethane acoustic foam of lining shape and PVDF film embedded in the foam. The embedded PVDF element acts as an actuator to reduce noise at lower frequencies and the foam absorbs noise at higher frequencies. A filtered-x LMS controller is used to minimize the signal from the error microphone. Experiments are executed to reduce broadband and tonal noise.
