A DESIGN METHOD OF A PD CONTROLLER FOR USE IN AN ACTIVE MASS DAMPER SYSTEM INCORPORATING A NEURAL OSCILLATOR

This paper shows a design method for a PD controller, which is utilized as a tool for position control to operate an auxiliary mass of an active mass damper system having a neural oscillator. Because the PD controller must have a roll not only to operate the auxiliary mass to the aimed position, but also to dissipate vibration energy of the structure, the ordinary design method can not apply to design the controller. This paper proposes a new theoretical design method for the gains of the PD controller in consideration of dissipating vibration energy of the structure.
