This paper reports active control of clamped beams using acceleration feedback controllers (AF). The equations of motion of clamped beam under force and moment pairs were derived and the equations of AF controllers were formulated. The effect of the parameters - gain and damping ratio - of the AF controllers on the open loop transfer function was investigated mainly in terms of the system stability. Increasing the gain of the AF controller tuned at a mode, the magnitude of the open loop transfer function is increased at all frequencies. The increase of the damping ratio of the AF controller leads to decrease the magnitude of the open loop transfer function and modifies its phase characteristics to be more stable. Three AF controllers connected in parallel were then proposed. Each AF controller is tuned at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th modes, respectively. Their parameters were determined to remain the system to be stable based on the results of the parametric study. A significant reduction in vibration at the 3 modes can be obtained.

BACKGROUND: For commercial production of greenhouse crops under shorter day length condition, supplementary radiation has been usually achieved by the artificial light source with higher electric consumption such as high-pressure sodium, metal halide, or incandescent lamps. Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with several characteristics, however, have been considered as a novel light source for plant production. Effects of supplementary lighting provided by the artificial light sources on growth of Kale seedlings during shorter day length were discussed in this experiment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Kale seedlings were grown under greenhouse under the three wave lamps (3 W), sodium lamps (Na), and red LEDs (peak at 630 nm) during six months, and leaf growth was observed at intervals of about 30 days after light exposure for 6 hours per day at sunrise and sunset. Photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of supplementary red LEDs on the plant canopy was maintained at 0.1 (RL), 0.6 (RM), and $1.2(RH){\mu}mol/m^2/s$ PPF. PPF in 3 W and Na treatments was measured at $12{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. Natural light (NL) was considered as a control. Leaf fresh weight of the seedlings was more than 100% increased under the 3 W, Na and RH treatment compared to natural light considering as a conventional condition. Sugar synthesis in Kale leaves was significantly promoted by the RM or RH treatment. Leaf yield per $3.3m^2$ exposed by red LEDs of $1.2{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ PPF was 9% and 16% greater than in 3W or Na with a higher PPF, respectively. CONCLUSION: Growth of the leafy Kale seedlings were significantly affected by the supplementary radiation provided by three wave lamp, sodium lamp, and red LEDs with different light intensities during the shorter day length under greenhouse conditions. From this study, it was suggested that the leaf growth and secondary metabolism of Kale seedlings can be controlled by supplementary radiation using red LEDs of $1.2{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ PPF as well as three wave or sodium lamps in the experiment.

This paper deals with a problem of vibration suppression of a piezoelectric beam using a self-sensing algorithm. Two methods, which are PPF(positive position feedback) and SRF(strain rate feedback), are considered to suppress a residual vibration of a piezoelectric beam developed during the step positioning of a beam end point. A self-sensing algorithm treated here is basically a strain rate estimator of a beam movement and is to be used for the closed loop control. The efficacy of the proposed idea is evaluated through experiments.

In this paper, a novel dual-type positioning mechanism using a voice coil motor(VCM) and a piezoelectric actuator is proposed for optical disk drive or near-field recording type drive. The VCM is used for a coarse motion actuator and the piezoelectric actuator, "S" configuration deflection motion when voltage applied, is used for a fine motion actuator with self-sensing technique, which allows it to sense and actuate simultaneously in a closed loop frame work. When the VCM rotates and stops, a position feedback control algorithm is adopted to further control residu vibration. The performance of the control scheme is confirmed through simulations and experiments.

압전재료를 이용한 능동진동제어에 관한 연구동향과 연구결과를 살펴보았다. 능동 진동제어에 사용되고 있는 감지기/작동기들 중 압전세라믹은 몇 가지 장점을 지니고 있어 그 적용에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있는 것이 현실이며 실제 구조 물로의 적용이 이루어지고 있다. 압전세라믹을 이용한 진동제어는 박판으로 이루어진 국부구조물의 진동제어에 적합하며 그래서 자동차의 진동소음제어, 위성체 태양판의 진동제어에 사용할 수 있고 또한 겹쳐놓은 형태의 압전세라믹은 트러스 구조물의 능동 멤버로 활용할 수 있다. 이렇게 겹쳐놓은 압전세라믹 구조는 진동 고립(vibration isolation)을 원하는 장비의 지지대로 사용할 수 있어 그 응용분야가 넓다. 최근까지 도 압전세라믹을 이용한 진동제어는 주로 외팔보, 또는 평판과 같은 단순한 기하학적 형상을 가진 구조물에 국한되어 연구가 진행되어 왔고 제어기법 또한 그동안 전기 제어분야에서 개발되어 온 기법들을 적용하는 현상을 보였는데 구조물의 자유도가 무한대임을 고려할때 앞으로 구조물에 합당한 제어기법의 개발이 요망된다고 하겠다. 이 논문에서 선보인 PPF와 SRF 제어 기법은 필자가 간단히 회로를 구성하여 실험을 수행하였는데 압전재료의 진동제어 기법으로 단순하면서도 효율적인 제어기법이라고 말할 수 있다. 압전재료를 이용한 진동제어에 관한 국내의 연구활동이 미미한 상태 이으로 이분야에 대한 연구자들의 관심을 모을 필요가 있다. 압전세라믹 감지기와 작동기의 설치는 그동안 압전세라믹 판을 직접 구조물에 접착시킨 형태로 진행되었 는데 새로운 형태의 압전세라믹 작동기의 개발이 시급하다. 이는 높은 전압을 필요로 하는 진동제어는 필수적으로 커다란 부대시설을 요구하게 됨으로 전압을 높이지 않고 도 진동제어를 효율적으로 할 수 있는 압전세라믹의 제조가 필요하다고 하겠다. 필자 는 이런 목적으로 다층 압전세라믹(multilayer piezoceramic plate)을 제작한 적이 있었는데 실험결과는 신통치 않았다. 또한 압전세라믹을 길고 얇은 조각으로 잘라 사용하는 방법로 있었으나 세라믹의 절단시 다이아몬드 컷터를 사용해야 되어 제작이 곤란했다. 또한 압전세라믹이 부서지기 쉬운점을 개선한다면 진동제어에 있어 아주 효과적인 감지기/작동기가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Vibrations caused by automobile engine are absorbed mostly by a passive-type engine mount. However, user specifications for automobile vibrations require more stringent conditions and higher standard. Hence, active-type engine mount have been developed to cope with such specifications. The active-type engine mount consists of sensor, actuator and controller where a control algorithm is implemented. The performance of the active engine mount depends on the control algorithm if the sensor and actuator satisfies the specification. The control algorithm should be able to suppress persistent vibrations caused by the engine which are related to engine revolution. In this study, three control algorithms are considered for suppressing persistent vibrations, which are the positive position feedback control algorithm, the strain-rate feedback control algorithm, and the modified higher harmonic control algorithm. Experimental results show that all the control algorithms considered in this study are effective in suppressing resonant vibrations but the modified higher harmonic controller is the most effective controller for non-resonant vibrations.

This paper deals with the experimental assessment of the vibration suppression of the smart structures. First, we have presented the paper about the new high-speed active control system that we have developed using the DSP320C6713 microprocessor and a peripheral system composed of a data acquisition system, A/D and D/A converters, piezoelectric (PZT) actuator/sensors, and drivers using PA95. Since fast data processing is very important in the active vibration control of the structures, we utilized the fast processing DSP320C6713 microprocessor as a main processor to the controller and fast peripheral devices for fast control loop. To realize a fast active vibration control, we have analyzed and tested the processing time of the peripheral devices and provided the corresponding test results. Especially, we have focused on achieving the fast signal amplification of the PA95 device since it takes most of loop times of the control system. Finally, we performed numerous experiments of active vibration control of the aluminum plate to validate the superior performance of the developed control system based on previous mode tests of the plate.

This research is concerned with the active vibration control of slewing smart structures subjected to rotating disturbance. When cantilever beam rotates about axes perpendicular to the undeformed beam's longitudinal axis, it experiences inertial loading. Hence, the beam vibrates after the slewing ends. In this paper, the analytical model for a single slewing flexible beam with surface bonded piezoelectric sensor and actuator is developed using the Hamilton's principle with discretization by the assumed mode method. The theoretial model is verified by the experimental open loop frequency response data. The controller is designed for residual vibration suppression after slewing. The designed cotroller is a positive position feedback (PPF) controller for controlling the first mode vibration.

This paper is concerned with the dynamic modeling and controller design for a cylindrical shell equipped with MFC actuators. The dynamic model was derived by using Ravleigh-Ritz method based on Donnel-Mushtari shell theory. The boundary conditions at both ends were assumed to be shear diaphragm. To verify the theoretical results, a cylindrical shell structure made of aluminum was built ana tested by using impact hammer. Experimental results show that there are little discrepancies compared to theoretical results because of the boundary conditions at both ends. The MFC actuators were glued to the cylindrical shell in longitudinal and circumferential directions. The PPF controller were designed for lowest two modes and applied to the MFC actuators. The experimental results show that vibrations can be successfully suppressed.
