This paper presents the application of a semi-active fuzzy based control system for seismic response reduction of a single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) framed structure using a Magnetorheological (MR) damper. Semi-active vibration control with MR dampers has been shown to be a viable approach to protect building structures from earthquake excitation. Moreover, intelligent damping systems based on soft-computing techniques such as fuzzy logic models have the inherent robustness to deal with typical uncertainties and non-linearities present in civil engineering structures. Thus, the proposed semi-active control system uses fuzzy logic based models to simulate the behavior of MR damper and also to develop the control algorithm that computes the required control signal to command the actuator. The results of the numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the suggested semi-active control system in reducing the response of the SDOF structure.

In this paper, the development of a vibration reduction device for hydraulic breakers was studied. Generally, a hydraulic breaker generates shock vibrations while working. When using vibration-proof rubber, shock vibrations are reduced, but without this, shock vibrations are repeatedly generated. Such repeated shock vibrations not only lower the fatigue strength of hydraulic breakers and excavators equipped with them but also increase the fatigue of the workers. This paper proposes the possibility of reducing shock vibration by using a dynamic vibration absorber.

This paper presents the active control of a flexible plate vibration. The plate was excited by white noise point force and the control was performed by one or two piezo ceramic actuator bonded to the surface of the plate. An adaptive controller based on filtered-x or multiple filtered-x LMS algorithm was used and the controller was defined by minimizing the square of the response of error sensor. In the experiment, PZT sensor was used as an error sensor while white noise was applied as a disturbance. In the case of multiple channel control, more than 22 dB of vibration reduction was achieved. Results indicate that the vibration of a flexible plate could be controlled effectively when the piezo ceramic actuator was used with multiple filtered-x LMS algorithm.

In this study, vibration control of the enclosed plate which is typical two dimensional structure are performed by using intelligent control method and piezo ceramic as an actuator attached at the plate. The characteristics of the plate with piezo ceramic are examined to identify the natural frequencies. Then, the plate is controlled under the sinusoidal excitation by acoustic source and the reduction level of vibration is examined via frequency response and time sequence. The control result shows the effect of the intelligent control method as a control scheme compared with that of the previous filtered-X LMS algorithm.

A procedure for the predictive control for structural vibration control in building subject to wind loads is presented. The building motions are modeled by the first mode of the response. Wind velocities are generated by the simulation using power spectral density function. Predictive control algorithm is the discrete-time formulation and that is developed as a control strategy that computes the control signal which makes the predicted process output equal to a desired process output. Results on the reduction of the dynamic response and control effectiveness of the algorithm are presented and discussed.

Power driving shaft systems with reduction gear are frequently equipped with elastic couplings to protect reduction gears and to relieve the torsional vibration problems. In this study, torsional vibration characteristics for the engine shafting system with elastic couplings are investigated and the calculating program is developed. It is confirmed that torsional vibration can be controled by careful selection of a elastic coupling with suitable characteristics and the suitability of a elastic coupling can only be determined as a result of a complete torsional vibration analysis including engine conditions such as misfring for shafting system.

The study of the noise reduction of an automobile has been concentrated on the reduction of the automotive engine noise because the engine noise is the major cause of automotive noise. However, many studies of automotive engine noise led to the interest of the noise reduction of the exhaust and intake system. The method of the reduction of the induction noise can be classified by the method of passive control and the method of active control. However, the passive control method has a demerit to reduce the effect of noise reduction at low frequency (below 500Hz) range and to be limited by a space of the engine room. Whereas, the active control method can overcome the demerit of passive control method. The algorithm of active control is mostly used the LMS (Least-Mean-Square) algorithm because the LMS algorithm can easily obtain the complex transfer function in real-time. Especially, Filtered-X LMS (FXLMS) algorithm is applied to an ANC system. However, the convergence performance of LMS algorithm goes bad when the FXLMS algorithm is applied to an active control of the induction noise under rapidly accelerated driving conditions. So, in order to this problem, the modified FXLMS algorithm using Moving Bandpass Filter was proposed. In this study, MBPF was implemented and use ANC for automotive intake under revived rapidly accelerated driving conditions and it was verified its performance.

This paper investigates the magneto-rheological(MR) mount for the marine diesel-generator(D/G) sets. Sometimes, significant vibrations over the allowable limit are observed on the D/G sets due to their huge excitation forces. Because the severe vibration can lead to structural damages to the D/G sets, it should be reduced below the limit. Although passive mounts with rubber isolators are usually used, the vibration reduction performance is not always sufficient. In addition, expecting that the vibration levels required by customers will get more severe, vibration reduction devices need to be developed. To the aim, the flow mode type of MR mount has been designed. Especially, the annular-radial configuration was adopted to enhance the damping force within the restricted space. The geometry of the mount has been optimized to obtain the required damping force and the magnetic field analysis has been carried out using ANSYS APDL. To verify the performance of the developed MR mount, an excitation test was conducted. In addition, they were applied to a medium-speed diesel generator and it was verified that about 40% of vibration reduction was yielded.

Recently Intake noise has been extensively studied to reduce the engine noise. In order to diminish intake noise several resonators were added to the intake system. However this can cause a reduction of engine output power and an increase of fuel consumption. In this study, active noise control simulation of the Filtered-x LMS algorithm is applied real instrumentation intake noise data under rapid acceleration because intake noise is more excessively increased under the such a harsh condition. But the FXLMS algorithm has poor control performance when the system is disturbed. Thus modified FXLMS algorithm using L-point running average filter is developed to improve the control performance under the rapid acceleration and disturbance. The noise reduction quantity of modified Filtered-x LMS algorithm is more than original one in two cases. In the case of control for real instrumentation intake noise data, maximum residual noise of modified FXLMS algorithm is 2.5 times less than applied the FXLMS and also in the case of disturbed, the modified FXLMS algorithm shows excellent control performance but FXLMS algorithm cat not control.
