Control of Vibration of Mechanical Systems Using Electrical Subsystems

Abstract

The reduction or elimination of undesired vibration can be achieved by applying various methods. The most commonly applied methods are: passive, semi-active and active.This work presents methods of reduction of the vibration of mechanical systems by means of active elements as well as examples of implementation of reduction of vibration by means of electrical elements. This work also introduces a structural and parametric synthesis, which can be defined as the design of systems meeting specific requirements. These requirements refer to the frequency values of the systems vibration. The presented approach i.e. a non-classical synthetic method applied in designing mechanical systems, one (as early as at the design and construction stage) may verify future systems. As a result of the synthesis one can obtain the structure and parameters of the system of required properties. The synthesis may also be applied to modify the already existing systems in order to achieve a desired result.
