Adaptive regulation - Rejection of unknown multiple narrow band disturbances

Abstract

The paper presents a methodology for feedback adaptive control of active vibration systems in the presence of time varying unknown multiple narrow band disturbances. A direct adaptive control scheme based on the internal model principle and the use of the Youla-Kucera parametrization is proposed. This approach is comparatively evaluated with respect to an indirect adaptive control scheme based on the estimation of the disturbance model. The evaluation of the methodology is done in real time on an active suspension system and on an active vibration control system using an inertial actuator.
