Active vibration suppression in a flexible cantilever beam using fuzzy logic controllers

Abstract EN

This paper presents a novel control system to find a suitable solution for addressing the vibration problem in fixed-free cantilever beam system structures.

The solution is generated using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) utilizing single and multiple control actuators.

The fuzzy controller employs the error (between a reference model output and the cantilever response) and error change to generate the control input increment in order to preserve the desired reference model performance.

The controller is tested within a simulation environment.

Results show that an excellent control performance is possible.
