Reproduction of Vehicle Vibration by Acceleration-Based Multi-Axis Control

Abstract:

This paper presents the development of the 3-axis vibrating machine precisely reproducing vehicle's acceleration characterized with multi-mode vibration. For the reproduction in vertical axis, at first, the system identification experiment of the vibrator is carried out. Using the identified model, the feedforward control based on the pole-zero cancellation method is applied to realize the ideal transfer gain of one from the acceleration reference to its output. Next, for reproducing the acceleration in horizontal plane, the continuous-path tracking (CPT) control system is constructed using the precision XY stage. In the CPT control system, the disturbance observer is introduced focusing on the accurate reproduction within limited frequency. Finally, the experimental verification of the proposed 3-axis acceleration vibration reproduction system is shown using the developed DSP-controlled 3-axis vibrating machine.
