Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wearing an immediate vibration feedback device at the lumbar region on the spine angle in a sitting position. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The subjects were 28 healthy university students who were randomized to three interventions. Each condition (A: in a normal chair with an immediate feedback device, B: on the gym ball, C: in a normal chair) spent 10 minutes watching the video, and the order of the experiments was randomized, and the measurements were taken consecutively. Results: The results showed significant differences in cervical and thoracic angles between conditions and time. Post hoc tests showed no difference at 1 minute, but significant differences at 5 and 10 minutes. Conclusions: In conclusion, all angles increased over time in all conditions, but the condition of wearing an immediate vibration feedback device with a lower increase was more useful in maintaining spinal angles than the other two conditions. This study suggests that immediate vibration feedback devices may be an alternative to prevent the loss of spinal angle in occupations and environments with prolonged sedentary postures, and further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of prolonged application.

본 논문에서는 구조적으로 유연한 특성을 갖는 교량 구조물을 대상으로 외력에 의해 발생되는 진동을 실시간으로 제어하고자 준능동형 실시간 피드백 진동제어시스템을 구성하고, 이를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 여기서 진동제어를 위한 대상 교량 구조물은 서해대교를 약 1/200 크기로 규모화 하여 설계/제작한 모형 교량 구조물을 사용하였고, 실험실 여건을 고려해 규모화 된 El-centro 지진파형으로 구조물을 가진하였다. 또한, 교량 상판 중앙지점에는 전자석이 채용된 전단형 MR 댐퍼를 수직방향으로 설치하여 발생된 진동을 제어하도록 하였고, 동시에 변위계 및 가속도계를 설치하여 구조물의 응답(변위, 가속도)을 획득하였다. 이때 진동제어의 실험은 크게 비-제어, 수동 on/off 제어, Lyapunov 안정론 기반 제어 그리고, Clipped-optimal 제어조건으로 구분하여 실시간 피드백 진동제어실험을 수행하였고, 이때 진동제어의 효과는 상판 중앙지점에 대하여 각 실험방법 별 절대최대변위와 절대최대가속도 그리고, 인가전원의 소모량 등을 성능지수를 이용해 정량적으로 평가하였다. 진동제어실험의 결과로부터, Lyapunov 제어 및 Clipped-optimal 제어방법 모두 구조물의 발생 변위 및 가속도를 효과적으로 감소시켰으며, 특히 진동제어 시 요구되는 외부 인가전원의 소비를 크게 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 최종적으로, 본 논문에서 구성한 준능동형 실시간 피드백 진동제어시스템은 교량 구조물에 발생된 진동을 제어 관리하기 위한 적극 효율적인 방법으로 활용될 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper considers vibration suppression of a mechanical transfer system, where the work is connected with the hand flexibly. We adopt the idea of jerk reduction of the hand. From the equation of motion, we first derive a state equation including the jerk and acceleration of the hand, but excluding the displacement and velocity of the work. Then, we design optimal state feedback for a suitable cost function, and show by simulation that jerk reduction of the hand is effective for vibration suppression of the work and improvement of the settling time. Since state feedback including the jerk and acceleration is not practical, we propose a computation method for optimal feedback using displacements and velocities in the state only.

This paper presents a self-levelling system for a mass, which undergoes a severe acceleration, with integrated displacement feedback control. After a general description of such a system, theoretical analysis is investigated to design an active control device. That is, the self levelling system is used to reduce the 'static' deflections while isolating the 'dynamic' vibration. A computer simulation model of 45 kg with two air spring mounts is considered to predict the performance of the control system. The results showed the controller can reduce the mass's displacement to the level of 1/3-1/5. Thus the self-levelling system can be applied usefully to reduce the dispalcement of a mass which experiences a high g dynamics.

Direct velocity feedback (DVFB) control is known that it offers an unconditional stability with very high performance when the control strategy is applied at a point collocated sensor and actuator pair, because the sensor-actuator pair has strictly positive real (SPR) property. In this paper, two types of collocated sensor-actuator pairs are considered for practical active vibration control of a structure. They are a point collocated sensor-actuator pair and a point sensor-distributed actuator pair. Both pairs with DVFB sho robust stability and performance. It is noted that the collocated point sensor-actuator ultimately acts as a 'skyhook' damper, but the point sensor-distributed actuator pair with DVFB acts as a 'skyhook' rotational dmaper pair.ational dmaper pair.

This paper presents a LMI(linear matrix inequality)-based fuzzy approach of modeling and active vibration control of geometrically nonlinear flexible plates with piezoelectric materials as actuators and sensors. The large-amplitude vibration characteristics and dynamic partial differential equation of a piezoelectric flexible rectangular thin plate structure are obtained by using generalized Fourier series and numerical integral. Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to approximate the nonlinear structural system, which combines the fuzzy inference rule with the local linear state space model. A robust fuzzy dynamic output feedback control law based on the T-S fuzzy model is designed by the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) technique, and stability analysis and disturbance rejection problems are guaranteed by LMI method. The simulation result shows that the fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller based on a two-rule T-S fuzzy model performs well, and the vibration of plate structure with geometrical nonlinearity is suppressed, which is less complex in computation and can be practically implemented.

The updating of the FE model to match it with the experimental results needs the modal information. There are two causes where this methodology is ill-equip to deal with; under-determined and ill-conditioning problem. In this research, the feedback exciter which uses the summation of the white noise and the signals from the measurement sensors multiplied with feedback gains is proposed. The new energy path generated by the feedback exciter changes the modal characteristics of the system and this additional modal information can solve the under-determined problem in the model updating. Through the proper selection of the exciter and sensor locations and the feedback gain, the eigenvalue sensitivity of the updating parameters which cause the ill-conditioning of the sensitivity matrix can be modified. This methodology does not require any additional equipments, makes the acquirement of the additional modal information easy and is robust to the measurement noise.

There has been a recent surge of research interest on the smart structure. This paper presents active vibration control scheme of multi-mode forced vibration using piezoceramic sensors/actuators. The control scheme adopted is the Positive Position Feedback control. Among various vibration control techniques, PPF control technique makes use of generalized displacement measurements to accomplish vibration suppression. Two independent controllers are implemented to control the first and the second modes of the beam under external excitation. Experimental results for various damping ratio and feedback gains of the PPF controllers are compared with respect to the control efficiency. The results indicate that steady state vibration under wideband excitation can be controlled effectively when multiple sets of PZT sensors/actuators were used with PPF control technique.

The structural vibration suppression with active constrained layer damping (ACLD) was widely studied recently. However, the literature seldom concerned with the vibration control on flow-induced vibration using active constrained layer. In this paper the wind induced vibration of cantilevered beam is analyzed and suppressed by using random theory together with a velocity feedback control strategy. The piezoelectric material and frequency dependent viscoelastic layer are used to achieve effective active damping in the vibration control. The transverse displacement and velocity in time and frequency domains, as well as the power spectral density and the mean-square value of the transverse displacement and velocity, are formulated under wind pressure at variable control gain. It is observed from the numerical results that the wind induced vibration can be significantly suppressed by using a small outside active voltage on the constrained layer.
