Dynamic analysis of two nonlinear inertial actuators in active vibration control
Dynamic analysis of two nonlinear inertial actuators in active vibration control
When an inertial actuator is used to control large amplitude vibrations of a structure, the proof mass will experience large displacements, which can lead to displacement saturation, resulting in large shocks to the structure. The collision between the proof mass and the end stops can generate potential damage to the
structure, as well as the destabilisation of the feedback control system, hence reducing its performance and stability. In this paper, a state space formulation is derived for a two degree of freedom structure with two stroke limited inertial actuators controlled by localised velocity feedback loop, resulting in a four degree of freedom system. The time responses of the system are simulated for a step input and the eigenvalues of the closed-loop state matrix are evaluated to assess the stability of the system. It is shown that the nonlinear system becomes unstable for control gains lower than those able to destabilise the underlying linear system, since the instability in one loop will destabilise the other.

Abstract
When an inertial actuator is used to control large amplitude vibrations of a structure, the proof mass will experience large displacements, which can lead to displacement saturation, resulting in large shocks to the structure. The collision between the proof mass and the end stops can generate potential damage to the
structure, as well as the destabilisation of the feedback control system, hence reducing its performance and stability. In this paper, a state space formulation is derived for a two degree of freedom structure with two stroke limited inertial actuators controlled by localised velocity feedback loop, resulting in a four degree of freedom system. The time responses of the system are simulated for a step input and the eigenvalues of the closed-loop state matrix are evaluated to assess the stability of the system. It is shown that the nonlinear system becomes unstable for control gains lower than those able to destabilise the underlying linear system, since the instability in one loop will destabilise the other.
