This paper presents an analysis of a magnetic levitation system for vibration isolation. A non-
dimensional analysis of the magnetic support is considered and it is shown analytically that …

Motor-gear transmission systems often display pronounced torsional oscillations, primarily
stemming from their inherent nonlinearity. In the case of these multi-degree-of-freedom …

Real-time model predictive controller (MPC) implementation in active vibration control (AVC)
is often rendered difficult by fast sampling speeds and extensive actuator-deformation …

This paper presents an efficient hybrid control approach through combining the idea of
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control …

The PZT/Ni unimorph cantilever with permanent Nd-magnet (NdFeB) as a tip mass is
proposed for harvesting energy from the low frequency (50/60 Hz) and low amplitude …

Long-period pulses in near-field earthquakes lead to large displacements in the base of
isolated structures. To dissipate energy in isolated structures using semi-active control …

This paper presents an experimental study implementing the input shaping control of the first
two modes of the vibration of a non-uniform flexible cantilever beam having a translating …

Electromagnetically actuated soft-tethered robots (EASTRs) exhibit significant potential for
medical intervention applications due to their compact size and minimal invasiveness …

This paper developed multi-objective optimization design of proportional–derivative (PD)
and proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers for seismic control of high-rise …

Vibration attenuation and control is a typical topic in mechanical, civil and aeronautical
engineering. In recent years, there has been extensive research on smart materials and …
