Abstract
In this article, a hybrid control framework is used to design semi-active controllers for vibration reduction. It is shown that the semi-active skyhook damper, typically used for vibration reduction, can be recast in the framework of an event-driven intermittent controller. By doing this, we can then exploit the well-developed techniques associated with hybrid control theory to design the semi-active control system. Illustrative simulation examples are based on a 2 degree-of-freedom system, often used to model the dynamics of a quarter car body model. The simulation results demonstrate how hybrid control design techniques can improve the overall performance of the semi-active control system.
