Abstract
Strategies for the suppression of plate vibration are investigated by considering approximations to the equivalent impedance of power-minimizing vibration controllers. The total power transmitted to a plate by both a primary and a secondary point force is minimized and the equivalent impedance presented by the secondary source to the plate is considered. A novel device for active vibration control, based on an inertial actuator with displacement sensor and local PID controller and an outer velocity feedback control loop, is used to control the vibrating flexible plate. The impedance presented to the plate by this actuator is compared with the equivalent impedance of the optimal active control system. A frequency-domain formulation is used to analyse the stability and performance of an active vibration suppression system using this modified inertial actuator. The results of an experimental study of active vibration suppression on a flexible plate using the modified inertial actuator are then described. Theory and experiments agree well, demonstrating the effectiveness of the modified inertial actuator.
