This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility of using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators in controlling structural vibrations of a flexible cantilevered beam. The dynamic characteristics of the SMA actuator are identified and integrated with the beam dynamics. Three types of control schemes; constant amplitude controller(CAC), proportional amplitude controller (PAC) and sliding mode controller(SMC) are designed. The CAC and PAC are determined on the basis of physical phenomenon of the SMA actuator, while teh SMC is formulated in a mathematical manner. The proposed controllers are implemented and evaluated at various operating condirions by investigating the control level of suppression in transient vibration.

we an autotuning algorithm for PI controller with unknown plant. The proposed algorithm uses a saturation function and time delay element as a test signal. Since the integral element of PI controller reduces a phase margin and amplitude margin in the closed loop system, the closed loop system could be resulted in unstable with PI controller, To avoid unstable in the closed loop system with PI controller, the proposed algorithm identifies one point information in the 3rd quadrant of Nyquist plot with a time delay element. The proposed method improves an accuracy of one point identified information with one saturation function.

This paper presents vibration control of an engine mount for a passenger vehicle utilizing ER fluid and piezoelectric actuator. The proposed engine mount can be isolated the vibration of wide frequency range with many types of amplitude. The main function of ER fluid is to attenuate vibration for low frequency with large amplitude, while the piezoelectric actuator is activated in hish frequency range with small amplitude. A mathematical model of the engine mount is derived using Hydraulic model and mechanical model. After formulating the governing equation of motion, then field-dependent dynamic stiffness of the engine mount is evaluated for various engine speed and excitation amplitude conditions. Then robust controller is designed to attenuate vibration of wide range frequency component. Computer simulation is undertaken in order to evaluate the vibration control performance such as transmissibility magnitude in frequency domains.

A controller designed by CDM for a servo type system which is an augmented system constructed from a rotational inverted pendulum with an integrator added to its arm, is presented in this paper. In order to be able to apply the CDM concept, the augmented system must be linearized and converted into controllable canonical form. Then, the controller consisting of the state feedback gain matrix and an integral gain in the sense of CDM can be obtained. This shows that design procedure for the proposed controller is easy. The experimental results obtained from the rotational inverted pendulum controlled by the proposed controller show that the system response has no steady-state error, however, the oscillation amplitude of the arm angle is still significant. Therefore, in this paper, the friction compensation using Coulomb friction with stiction is also added to the controller. The oscillation amplitude of the arm angle that can be reduced remarkably is also shown in the experimental results.

This paper concerns a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller design technique using digital redesign. Digital redesign is to convert a well-designed analog controller into an equivalent pulse-amplitude-modulation (PAM) controller maintaining the original analog control system in the sense of state-matching. In similar line of conversion concept, the redesigned PAM controller is converted into a PWM controller using the equivalent area principle. To convincingly visualize the proposed technique, an computer simulation example-attitude control of artificial satellite system is included.

In the actual control systems, there exist many kinds of restrictions or nonlinearities. However, due to the nonlinearities in actuators and sensors, the designed controller may not be applicable in some practical situations. One such nonlinearity is amplitude saturation in actuators. Although sometimes it may be ignored, in other cases failure to consider actuator saturation may severely degrade closed-loop system performance and even lead to instability. On the other hand, limiting the controller gain to avoid saturation sacrifices control effort and may lead to loss of performance. Consequently, in some cases, the actuator saturation must be explicitly taken into account to ensure desired performance. However, in this paper, an anti-windup control system design method is introduced to suppress the windup due to the amplitude saturation of the actuator. The proposed control system has very simple design process and guarantees the good control performance. The validity of the proposed control system will be shown by comparing with the results of a reported paper.

This paper presents active control methodologies to suppress structural deflections of a composite beam using a distributed piezoelectric-film actuator and sensor. Three types of different controllers are employed to achieve vibration suppression. The controllers are established depending upon the information on the velocity components of the structrue and on the deflection magnitudes as well. They are constant-amplitude controller(CAC), constant-gain mcontroller(CGC), and constant-amplitude-gain controller(CAGC). For the minimization of the residual vibration (chattering in a settled phase), which is the practical shortcoming of the conventional CAC dur to time delay phenomenon of the hardware system, a new control algoritym CAGCis designed by selecting switching constants in an optimal manner with respect to the initial tip deflection and the applied voltage. The experimental investigations of the transient and forced vibration control for the first vibrational mode are undertaken in order to compare the suppression efficiency of each control algorithm. Moreover, simultaneous controllability of various vibrational modes through the proposed scheme is also experimentally verified by pressenting both the transfer function and the phase.

This paper presents a data based low-order controller design algorithm for a linear time-invariant process with a time delay. The algorithm is composed by combining an identification step based on open loop pulse test with a low-order controller design step to obtain the entire set of controllers achieving multiple performance specifications. The initial information necessary for this algorithm are merely the width and amplitude of a rectangular pulse, a controller of four types (PI, PD, PID, first-order), and design objectives. Various parametric approaches that have been developed are merged in the controller design algorithm. The resulting controller set satisfying the design objectives are displayed on the 2D and 3D graphics and thus it is very easy for us to pick a controller inside the admissible set because we can check the corresponding closed-loop performances visually.
