Dynamic characteristics of a prototype active engine mount (AEM), designed on the basis of a hydraulic engine mount, have been investigated and an adaptive controller for the AEM has been designed. An equivalent mass-spring-damper AEM model is proposed, and the transfer function that describes the dynamic characteristics of the AEM is deduced from mathematical analysis of the model. The damping coefficient of the model is derived by considering the non-linear flow effect in the inertia track. Experiments confirmed that the model precisely describes the dynamic characteristics of the AEM. An adaptive controller using the filtered-X LMS algorithm is designed to cancel the force transmitted through the AEM. The stability of the LMS algorithm is guaranteed by using the secondary path transfer function derived on the basis of the dynamic model of the AEM. The performance test in the laboratory shows that the AEM system is capable of significantly reducing the force transmitted through the AEM.

Abstract Car manufacturers have been motivated to apply semi-active engine mounts to ensure superior performance in vibration attenuation during idle condition and better ability to isolate vibration which is generated by engine unbalanced force at high frequencies. This paper develops a non-linear lumped parameter model of semi-active engine mounts with air spring that focuses on the non-linearity of the rubber diaphragm and the air chamber. Then, the main rubber dynamic stiffness parameters are identified through experimental approaches with a novel-designed test rig. Other parameters including effective pumping area, main rubber spring bulge stiffness, fluid channel inertia and resistance, rubber diaphragm, and air-chamber parameters are attained through finite element analysis (FEA). Supported by the identified lumped parameters, the non-linear mathematical model could be simulated. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the semi-active engine mount are tested through the original test rig. Therefore, comparing with the tested dynamic characteristics, the simulation result can validate the developed model and thus facilitate the structure design of the semi-active engine mount.

The control purpose of an electro-hydraulic force control (EHFC) system is to real time replicate the force exerted on a structure in laboratory so as to simulate loads that cannot otherwise be generated naturally. In contrast to electro-hydraulic position control system, the tracking performance of EHFC system is always limited. To enhance the force replication accuracy of EHFC systems, a feedforward inverse controller integrating filtered-x LMS adaptive algorithm is presented in this paper. The proposed controller comprises a feedforward inverse controller and an adaptive controller. The feedforward inverse controller working as an inner loop is firstly established by directly cascading the designed parametric inverse transfer function to the EHFC system with proportional integral controller and the inverse transfer function is obtained with the implementation of system identification and zero magnitude error tracking technology. Then, the adaptive controller employing the filtered-x LMS algorithm acting as an outer loop is further combined with the feedforward controller to deal with the error occurred in the inverse model design procedure. Therefore, the proposed controller is an easy-to-implement strategy and can effectively enhance the force replication performance for both phase delay errors and amplitude mismatch errors. Finally, a series of experiments are carried out on a real EHFC test rig by means of xPC target technology, and the experimental results indicate that the proposed controller has a relatively better tracking accuracy compared with the proportional integral controller and the feedforward controller. It is also worth noting that the proposed controller can also be extended to other servo control systems where high accuracy tracking performance is required.

In order to accurately model the hysteresis and dynamic characteristics of piezoelectric stack actuators (PSAs), consider that a linear force and a hysteresis force will be generated by piezoelectric wafers under the voltage applied to a PSA, and the total force suffering from creep will result in the forced vibration of the two-degree-of-freedom mass-spring-damper system composed of the equivalent mass, stiffness, and damping of the piezoelectric wafers and the bonding layers. A modified comprehensive model for PSAs is put forward by using a linear function, an asymmetrical Bouc-Wen hysteresis operator, and a creep function to model the linear force, the hysteresis force, and the creep characteristics, respectively. In this way, the effect of the bonding layers on the hysteresis and dynamic characteristics of PSAs can be analyzed via the modified comprehensive model. The experimental results show that the modified comprehensive model for PSAs with the corresponding parameter identification method can accurately portray the hysteresis and dynamic characteristics of PSAs fabricated by different layering/stacking processes. Finally, the theoretical analyzing on utilizing the modified comprehensive model to linearize the hysteresis characteristics and design the dynamic characteristics of PSAs is given.

The Stability

When designing a stabilization system for highly maneuverable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), one of the relevant tasks is to study the operation of the steering drive in the frequency band corresponding to the flexural vibrations of the UAV body. To ensure the stability of the UAV stabilization system, quite conflicting requirements may be imposed on the dynamic characteristics of the drive. In particular, the requirement for a sharp suppression of the amplitude-frequency characteristic at the frequency of UAV bending vibrations with minimal phase distortions in the control band of the longitudinal and lateral channels of the stabilization system can significantly complicate the task of researching the stability of the UAV motion control system. The article discusses an electric drive prototype with a digital microcontroller, designed for a highly maneuverable UAV. Adaptive algorithms of the digital controller make it possible to provide the necessary phase delays in the control frequency band and at the same time almost completely suppress the harmonic components of the control signals at the frequencies of the bending vibrations of the UAV body. The algorithms are essentially nonlinear in nature and are based on a change in the gain of the direct circuit of the drive depending on the frequency of the input signal, which greatly complicates the calculation of the transfer function of the steering drive for use in the frequency model of the stabilization system. Generally, the steering drive is described by a linear minimum-phase system, presented as a transfer function of one of the typical blocks of the first or second order, but for the specified steering drive with given dynamic characteristics, this approach is untenable. As a result of the study, a method for obtaining a frequency model of the steering drive is proposed, which is implemented as a non-minimum phase system, the main property of which is the independence of the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics. In the process of research, the results obtained on the proposed model are compared with the results of experiments on a drive prototype and its complete non-linear time model. The main advantage of the proposed frequency model is a fairly simple description of the steering drive in the frequency domain, convenient for use as part of the frequency model of the stabilization system in the study of problems of ensuring the stability of UAV flight.

Based on the investigation of active gear pair vibration control system, an adaptive controller combined with Filtered-X method and RLS algorithm is developed to reduce the periodic vibration of gear driven shaft. The active control of the gear shaft transverse vibration is simulated to validate the efficiency of the proposed Filtered-X RLS algorithm (FXRLS). The results indicate that the FXRLS is significantly better in convergence speed and stability than the commonly used Filtered-X LMS algorithm (FXLMS), and the stability and convergence are more robust.

A stationary stable random processes goes through an independently distributed random linear filter. It is shown that when the input is Gaussian or harmonizable stable, then the output is also stable provided the filter&s transfer function has non-random gain. In contrast, when the input is a non-Gaussian stable moving average, then the output is stable provided the filter&s randomness is due only to a random global sign and time shift.

In a vibration isolation context, fractional derivative can be used to design suspensions which allow to obtain similar performances in spite of parameters uncertainties. This paper presents the synthesis and the achievement of a new Hydractive CRONE suspension system. After the study of the different constraint in suspension in the first paper, the ideal transfer function of the hydractive CRONE suspension is created and simulated in different case. Then a method to determine the technological parameters is proposed. A parallel arrangement of dissipative and capacitive components and a gamma arrangement are compared. They lead to the same unusual performances: the stability degree robustness and the rapidity robustness.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor systems are usually used in industry. This kind of systems is nonlinear in nature and generally difficult to control. The ordinary linear constant gain controller will cause overshoot or even loss of system stability. Application of adaptive controller to a permanent magnet synchronous motor system is investigated in this paper. The dynamic model of the system is given and the stability is also analyzed using Popov's criterion. The steady state error can be eliminated using adaptive controller combined with an integration term. Simulation results show the performance of adaptive controller with fast response and less overshoot.
