Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of an active pendulum vibration absorber (APVA) that utilizes a rotating inertia actuator (RIA) and takes into account the time delay in the position feedback. Here, the primary system is represented as a base-excited system, which includes a linear spring, damper, and mass. The absorber consists of a pendulum with a rotating inertia actuator attached to one end, a spring-damping system attached to the pendulum mass, and a delayed controller. The active control force is generated by the RIA in the proposed model, thereby preventing stroke saturation, an issue that may result in feedback controller instability. This is because, unlike proof mass actuators, the RIA does not have end-stops that limit its motion. The equations of motion describing the dynamical behavior of the primary system and APVA were derived and simulated in MATLAB Simscape and Simulink. Multi- frequency and harmonic base excitations are utilized as inputs. The simulation results show that the proposed APVA can greatly reduce vibration induced by the excitation of both single and multiple frequencies.
