Abstract
This paper proposes the vibration control method of flexible structures arranged in parallel. In recent years, vibration control of a flexible structures using an active dynamic absorber has increasingly been utilized in practical applications. In the future, as the structure becomes more advanced and more flexible, its natural frequency gradually becomes lower. Thus, it will be difficult to assume enough force for vibration control using an active dynamic absorber. The authors proposed the method wherein two structures arranged in parallel are controlled actively using two actuators set between them. In general, a reduced-order-model is necessary to design a controller using the LQ control theory. Using the modeling method proposed here, reduced-order model of the 2-2 degree-of-freedom parallel structures can be easily fabricated. Using a root locus plot, the relationship between weighting parameters and control effect in the LQ control theory is clarified. It is demonstrated that this control method is able to control vibrations of 2-2 DOF system without the spillover instability, by simulation and experiment.
