DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA

The dataset used in this study contains frequency domain data collected from an experimental setup designed for vibration control of a cantilever beam using an electromagnetic damper. The data is collected using dSPACE real-time data acquisition and control system and the data's are stored in MAT file for analysis. The stored data are processed MATLAB software. All data files are organised into a folder according to the experiment type. 


The dataset contains Frequency response functions and the corresponding frequency data 


This dataset contains 8 folders
1. Frequency response of the beam
2. Direct velocity feedback control 
3. Stability and open loop frequency function
4. Proportional resonant control with varying Proportional gain
5. Proportional resonant control with varying Resonant gain
6. Proportional resonant control with varying damping
7. Multimode frequency control using PR controller tuned to 48 Hz and 162 Hz
8. Multimode frequency control using PR controller tuned to 162 Hz
