Abstract

Active constrained layer damping (ACLD) treatment has become an important smart structure for vibration suppression due to its ability to achieve enhanced damping effects through real-time control. The control algorithm is a critical factor that determines the damping performance of the ACLD treatment. In this work, we utilize the linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) algorithm for the first time in the vibration suppression of beams with the ACLD treatment by compensating for the disturbance. To optimize vibration suppression, we also propose an efficient parameter tuning approach by analyzing the effects of controller bandwidth, control gain, and observer bandwidth on vibration suppression performance. Firstly, the dynamic model of elastic beams with the ACLD treatment is established and the LADRC algorithm is designed. Subsequently, the accuracy of the model is verified by comparing it with open literature and experiments. Then, the influences of the control parameters and different positions of the ACLD treatment on the vibration suppression performance are studied. Finally, the vibration suppression effects of LADRC and traditional PID algorithms are compared. The results indicate that the vibration suppression performance of the ACLD treatment is better than that of the passive constrained layer damping (PCLD) treatment. Setting the controller bandwidth to a small value and then adjusting other control parameters can effectively reduce the difficulty of parameter tuning while achieving superior vibration suppression performance. Appropriately increasing the observer bandwidth or reducing the control gain is beneficial for enhancing the suppression efficiency. The parameter tuning approach in this study provides vital guidance for the application of the LADRC algorithm in structural vibration suppression.
