Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Existing medium-priced vibration controllers are deficient regarding their ability to follow arbitrary test reference waveforms. The shaker also has an unwanted mechanical resonance. This proposal addresses these two areas and specifies a control solution. An outer control loop based on an adaptive filter will improve the systems ability to track the reference wave form with regards to its accuracy and convergence time. An inner control loop using a state-space control scheme will reduce the magnitude of the armature resonance. The choice of a PC-based dual DSP solution will ensure that there is sufficient computing power and flexibility for the adoption of the control strategy. The scheme will be evaluated and in the light of practical knowledge gained, the dynamic model of the shaker will be refined reducing the gap between practical and simulation results.
