Dynamics and control of a self-sustained electromechanical seismographs with time-varying stiffness

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear dynamics and vibration control of an electromechanical seismograph system with time-varying stiffness. The instrument consists of an electrical part coupled to mechanical one and is used to record the vibration during earthquakes. An active control method is applied to the system based on cubic velocity feedback. The electromechanical system is subjected to parametric and external excitations and modeled by a coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain approximate solutions and investigate the response of the system. The results of perturbation solution have been verified through numerical simulations, where different effects of the system parameters have been reported.
