Experimental Study on Active Vibration Control of a Gear Pair System Based on FxLMS Algorithm

Abstract:

To treat gear pair vibration due to internal excitation, an active internal gearbox structure near the gear pair is developed based on an active shaft transverse vibration control concept in the effort to tackle the gear excitation problem more directly. A controller of the FxLMS algorithm combined with frequency estimation technique is designed. And it is evaluated based on the experimental setup of the active gearbox vibration control system in contrast to fuzzy-PD controller. The experimental results show that 9.94dB attenuation in the gearbox housing vibration response can be achieved at the first gear mesh frequency by FxLMS controller, but only 5.62dB attenuation by fuzzy-PD controller. Besides, the insufficient effect at 210.8Hz and 216.2Hz is caused by typical out-of-band overshoot.
