Module 5: Principles of Active Vibration Control

  Lecture 23: Feedback and Feed-forward AVC for SISO Systems
 

Important Observations on Feed-forward Control

  • For an efficient filter, the system should remain stationary. Any unknown delay in the system could destabilize the performance.
  • Since a successful filter has to match the gain and phase contributions by the disturbance signal at all the frequencies present in the signal, the disturbance should be free from near-field noises, which are difficult to estimate.
  • For a system having random disturbance one may attempt to develop a similar feed-forward compensator – however, such a system would be non-causal in nature, hence a purely feed-forward system should be substituted by a combination of feed-forward and feed-back system.

Summary of the Lecture

  • The simplest of the SISO system based on Classical Control is discussed.
  • A typical SDOF system and it's SISO representation is considered. .
  • A quick recapitulation of the classical control system is discussed.
  • Finally, the case of Feed-forward control and its impact is discussed.

Congratulations! You have finished Lecture 23.
