Distributed Hybrid Vibration Absorbers for Shock and Forced Vibrations

Article Preview

Abstract:

The control methods used for free/shock vibration suppression are normally different from those used for forced vibration cancellation, because shock vibration is regarded as a type of transient vibration that is different in nature from steady-state forced vibration. However, both steady-state and shock excitations may occur in flexible structures, so there is a need to control both types of vibrations. To show the integration of the two different vibration control strategies, a hybrid control system based on adhesive strain gauges and PZT patches is proposed to construct a distributed resonant absorber and shock absorber together. The hybrid system is governed by a control arbitrator that decides which absorber should be active according to the different excitation conditions. The effectiveness of the integrated system is shown through simulation and experimental studies.
