A Self-Organizing Fuzzy Controller for an Active Vibration Suppression

Abstract

A spring-lumped mass dynamic absorber system with internal vibration disturbance sources is constructed for active vibration control. The self-organizing fuzzy controller is employed to control the vibration amplitude of the main mass. This approach has learning ability for responding to the time-varying characteristic of the disturbance inducing vibration. Its control rule bank can be established and modified continuously by on-line learning. The experimental results show that this intelligent controller effectively suppresses the vibration amplitude of the body with respect to the external disturbance.
