PAST RESEARCH PROJECTS
Active Vibration Suppression using a Delayed Resonator
This project involves a novel vibration absorption methodology. It is commonly known that a resonator (i.e., a mass attached to a perfect spring) can absorb vibrations entirely at its natural frequency. Consider having a vibrating system with a stable (i.e. dissipative) absorber attached to it. Because of the dissipative characteristic (i.e. damping component) this absorber cannot suppress oscillations entirely. We wish to convert the absorber into a resonator, and we also want to moderate the resonance frequency of it. And how would we achieve that? Simply by introducing a time delay into the feedback loop! Sounds simple, doesn't it? It is, indeed, once the proposition is well understood. Especially the "delay in feedback", which is considered to be a destabilizing effect, bring some interesting challenges. Among these are: multiple frequency resonances, stability of delayed systems, multiple delay involved systems stability. Please see our selected publications for the treatment of these topics.
