Tracking-Differentiator-Based Position and Acceleration Feedback Control in Active Vibration Isolation with Electromagnetic Actuator

Abstract

In order to improve the performance of the active vibration isolation system (AVIS) with electromagnetic actuator, several problems of vibration control are studied. Position control is a critical component in suspension systems, and the position sensor noise can extremely affect the stability of the system, so a tracking differentiator (TD) is proposed to obtain effective differential signal from relative position sensor. In vibration control, the feedback of acceleration combined with PD position feedback is presented to suppress transmission of periodic vibrations. Then, taking the acceleration transmission as the evaluation index, the acceleration transmission under the presented control method is derived, and the influence of control parameters on vibration isolation performance is discussed in detail. The vibration isolation performance is improved from 24.47 dB to 2.4 dB at resonance frequency, and −34 dB attenuation is achieved at 100 Hz with respect to vibration isolation mount system tested on the ground. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of active vibration isolation system are improved by the proposed acceleration feedback control.
