Optimal active dynamic vibration absorber for multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Feedback and feedforward control using a Kalman filter.

This study presents a method of feedforward control design of an active dynamic vibration absorber for multi-degree-of-freedom systems. The feedforward control, obtained by assuming that the shaping filter has the same natural frequency as a primary structure in the frequency range of input disturbance, is effective in the broad frequency range and is robust for input disturbance. Furthermore, to improve reliability, a digital control system consisting of reduced-order feedback control and feedforward control, using a Kalman filter, is synthesized
