Optimal Active Damping Performance in Presence of Disturbance and Electronic Noise Sources

Vibration attenuation in lightly damped blade-like systems such as cantilevers or end-effectors of robot manipulators can be dampened using Active Vibration Control (AVC). Piezoelectric patches in a collocated setup measure and control the bending modes of such a cantilever system using Positive Position Feedback (PPF). Tuning methods for PPF...
