Vibration control of multi-mode rotor-bearing systems

This paper presents a computationally fast and efficient least-squares method to minimize the vibration of any general rotor-bearing system by the application of external control forces. The D-optimality concept is used to optimize the force locations. The proposed method provides a wide range of statistical information, and the sensitivity of the optimum response to changes in the control forces. Magnetic bearings can be applied to implement the open-loop adaptive vibration control strategies outlined in the paper. These components can also be used to inject a multi-frequency test signal as required for identification studies.
