Air-spring is widely used in vibration isolation to reduce the table vibration. When a disturbance is applied to a table, however, it starts virbrating with a low frequency, but has a large displacement due to the reacting force of air-spring. In this study, to solve the table vibration problem, an active vibration control device based on state feedback control using air-spring and proportional control valves was designed. This device can suppress the displacement of the isolation table within allowable range, even any kind of disturbances are applied to the table. Firstly, theoretical analysis of an air-spring isolator was done. Secondly, characteristics of the isolator was investigated via computer simulation and experiment. Finally, active control of air-spring isolator was tested using optimal(LQG) and fuzzy control algorithms was performed to show the effectiveness of the control schems.

This research is concerned with development of the active vibration absorber using piezoelectric actuators. This active isolation system consists of a-pairs of PZT actuators bonded on a S-shaped aluminum plate and the passive damping material. The active system is connected to the passive system in series. In this paper, one of the popular control techniques which have been successfully applied to the smart structure is the Positive Position Feedback(PPF) control. The digital PPF control lows downloaded to the DSP chip and a main program, which runs SISO PPF algorithm. The structure and dynamic characteristics of the proposed active vibration isolation system and described in detail. To demonstate the effectiveness of the active vibration control, the PPF controller is first employed. Experimental results show that the active vibration isolation is possible by means of the proposed system.

The vibration isolation system is a system that attenuates the vibration transmitted from surroundings by using external energy supply like electricity and feedback and/or feedforward functions. Such a system needs stiff structure to make precise positioning without ripple within a certain bandwidth. So, a horizontal and rotary arrangement of the actuation module is suggested by using lever linkage. Modeling and kinematic formulation are completed and system identification is accomplished to tune the design variables accurately. The vibration isolation control is performed by mu-synthesis with the uncertainties in design variables. Low frequency signal enhancement circuit and saturation proof integration algorithm are devised to use seismic sensors for displacement control. This overall system shows good disturbance rejection performance.

Major equipment of combat vessels normally require the shock and vibration isolation to maintain its performance against environments of severe vibration and shock. In this paper, an optimal layout design method of resilient mounts for shock and vibration isolation is presented using simulated annealing optimization method. The reference levels of vibration and shock to isolate shipboard equipment are determined from the MIL-STD-167-1 and MIL-S-901 specifications. Through the numerical application, the validity of the presented method is investigated.

This paper focuses on a recently proposed asymmetric base-isolation coupling control system (ABiCS) for the vibration control of adjacent twin buildings. The ABiCS consists of inter-story diagonal dampers, a connecting damper between the two buildings, and a seismic isolation device at the base floor of one building. To investigate the control characteristics of ABiCS, a parametric study was performed by numerically simulating the 20-story twin buildings. In the parametric study, the control capacities of the inter-story diagonal dampers, connecting damper, and seismic isolation device were considered as varying parameters. The parametric study results indicate that the connecting damper between the two buildings reduces the responses of both buildings only at optimal or near-optimal capacity. In addition, adjusting the stiffness of the base isolation is found to be the most effective method for improving seismic performance and achieving cost-effectiveness. Accordingly, we presented a scenario-based performance improvement approach in which reducing the stiffness of the base isolation device could be an effective technique to improve the seismic performance of both buildings. However, note that checking the maximum allowable displacement of the base isolation device is essential.

This paper investigates the control performance of the proposed hybrid mount system for vibration isolation table. The hybrid mount system consists of an air spring as a passive device and a PZT stack actuator as an active device in series. The feasibility of the PZT stack actuator as an active actuator was examined through the simple experiments. After that, a series of numerical simulations were carried out to evaluate the control performance of the proposed hybrid mount system. The equations of motion of the table with a set of hybrid mount systems consisting of four devices are derived. The air spring is considered as a 1 spring and 1 dashpot elements, and PID control algorithm is adopted to estimate the control force. The results of the numerical simulations presents that the proposed hybrid mount system could be the promising control system for vibration isolation table.

As environmental vibration requirements on precision equipments get more stringent, use of pneumatic vibration isolators becomes more crucial and, hence, their dynamic performance needs to be further improved. Dynamic behavior of those pneumatic vibration isolation tables is very important to both manufacturer and customer as performance specifications. Together with conventional transmissibility, transient response characteristics are another critical performance index especially when movements of components, e.g., x-y tables, of the precision equipments are very dynamic. In this paper, analysis on transient response of a pneumatic vibration isolation table loaded by a mass moving on it is presented. This is a conventional dynamics problem on a rigid body with 6 degree of freedom and a mass with another degree of freedom. How to obtain transient responses of the isolation table is described when the movements of the mass are prescribed relative to the table.

Fly-wheel, gimbal antenna, mechanical gyro and cryocooler with moving parts generate a micro-vibration during their on-orbit operation. For the acquisition of high quality image of observation satellite, additional technical efforts are required to reduce the micro-vibration level from the vibration sources. In this study, we proposed a passive isolation system combined with a tuned mass damper-type energy harvester to generate electrical energy from the micro-vibration which has always been subjected to useless isolation objectives. The feasibility of the system has been investigated through the numerical simulation.

In this study, the dynamic properties of a floor impact sound isolation pad expressed in terms of the natural frequency, the dynamic stiffness per unit area and the loss factor are measured by the resonant method. By using the measured dynamic properties, the vibration transmissibility diagram is obtained for each isolation pad, which is compared with the values tested by the impact sound sources at the room in an apartment. From the comparative results, it is found that the noise reduction Performances. of isolation pads are closely connected with the natural frequency and the dynamic stiffness per unit area.
