Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - General, Basics, Flinders University (School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics), course: Mater of Engineering by Research, language: English, abstract: Active vibration control (AVC) methodology is presented by the author in this paper using bonded three self-sensing magnetic transducers for a flexible plate structure. Multi-modes multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) positive position feedback (PPF) controller is tested and verified for vibration suppression through simulation and experiment implement. Based on genetic algorithm (GA) searching, optimal parameters of the controllers can be obtained according to the minimization criterion which is the solution to the H_ norm of the whole closed-loop system.
