Abstract
This paper investigates modelling and active vibration control (AVC) of ultra-lightweight convertible structures based on the elastic kinetic motion mechanism with a focus on civil and structural engineering applications. Model building is carried out in the linear parameter-varying (LPV) framework for the example of a convertible Fin Ray structure. In a first step local linear time-invariant (LTI) models are derived from a finite element model of the structure for different transformation states. On the basis of this collection of local LTI models, a grid-based LPV model is established. An AVC of multiple modes is implemented by means of a modal velocity feedback control. Single-input single-output (SISO) control design is carried out with the root locus method for the first and second mode using the same control input under the assumption of well separated eigenfrequencies. The implemented AVC is validated in simulation.
