Co-simulation Using ADAMS and MATLAB for Active Vibration Control of Flexible Beam with Piezoelectric Stack Actuator

Abstract

Co-simulation using ADAMS and MATLAB is implemented for active vibration control of flexible beam with piezoelectric stack actuator. The virtual prototype of flexible beam with piezoelectric actuator is created in ADAMS, and the implement of prototype provides an approach for acquiring the information of dynamic and kinematic properties. When the properties analysis is finished, the controller based on FXLMS algorithm is established in MATLAB. The controller calculates the signals of acceleration which are measured from virtual prototype, then the force is generated to suppress the vibration of flexible beam. The results and analysis prove that active vibration control for flexible beam has a great suppression performance.
