    To address vehicle drivetrain vibrations that cause discomfort and poor drivability, this study proposes a new active damping strategy with simple backlash compensation based on the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) with norm-limited update vector. First, an experimental device developed for a simplified drivetrain mechanism is demonstrated. A mechanism for reproducing both the contact mode and the backlash mode is included in the device. For the contact mode, a model-based [Formula: see text] controller is employed as the baseline damping strategy. Further, to mitigate the backlash effect, a simple algorithm based on mode-switching-based compensation is used with the [Formula: see text] controller. In particular, for the critical controller parameters, this article presents a systematic design approach to search for their optimal values. The key parameters, which are needed for the backlash and contact mode controllers, are simultaneously auto-tuned using norm-limited update vector-based SPSA, which ensures the stability in the iterative tuning. The novelty of this study is that both the backlash mode controller and the contact mode controller are simultaneously optimized by the improved version of SPSA, thus realizing a comprehensive auto-tuning design of an active drivetrain damping system. Finally, the active controller is experimentally verified using the actual test device. Comparative studies show that the proposed approach significantly reduces drivetrain vibrations and is robust against fluctuations in the backlash.

    To improve the performance and durability of vehicle components, efforts have been made to reduce driveline oscillations using advanced active control algorithms. However, existing methods often rely on subjective parameter adjustments, which can be burdensome for designers. This study introduces an effective tuning algorithm for a driveline vibration controller that accounts for nonlinear backlash effects. Initially, a driveline dynamics model is developed to focus on transient oscillations resulting from changes in driving force and the presence of nonlinear backlash. The backlash impact is incorporated into the model through a discontinuous dead-zone region. Two operational dynamics, which are the contact mode and the backlash mode, are considered. A dynamic output feedback [Formula: see text] controller is designed as a baseline controller to mitigate low-frequency resonance in the driveline. A solution for managing the nonlinear backlash challenges is introduced, involving the use of a simple control mode switching algorithm in conjunction with the controller. This algorithm relies on a time-dependent-switched Kalman filter. Additionally, the optimal settings for the parameters needed by the mode-switching algorithm are autonomously determined using the grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The proposed active controller can be implemented in real vehicles by using an on-vehicle acceleration sensor and electronic control unit (ECU). In a simulation environment, the vehicle body vibration is online fed back to the resultant controller, and an actuator is supposed to apply control commands to the driveline. The effectiveness of this newly proposed active controller is confirmed through comparative tests, revealing the superior vibration control.

    Abstract This study proposes an active vibration control technique for pipe structures using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Vibrations in pipe structures must be eliminated to improve their mechanical reliability, and active vibration control techniques can be applied for effective vibration suppression. Soft actuators, which can completely fit pipe structures with complex-shaped surfaces, are required to transfer their vibration reduction forces to the target. DEA is suitable for this kind of target structure because DEA is characterized by high stretchability, flexibility, large deformation, and fast response. By applying the DEA, the effectiveness of vibration control for the pipe structure was experimentally demonstrated. A stacked DEA was fabricated and attached to the target structure. Its shape and placement were determined based on a modal analysis of the target structure. A control system, in which the controller for the active vibration control was designed based on H∞ control theory, was composed. The vibration control experiment was conducted using the controller with a digital control system, and the vibration reduction effect was evaluated based on the frequency response of the target pipe structure.

    Lateral vehicle dynamics control is important for autonomous driving. This paper presents a data-driven design of model-referenced model-free control (DD-MR-MFC) based on an ultra-local model for vehicle yaw rate control. The characteristics of lateral vehicle dynamics systems depend on vehicle velocities and weights. For this system, fixed proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers cannot provide the desired control performance. Additionally, although model-based control can be applied to lateral vehicle dynamics, the modeling process is time-consuming. To efficiently design controllers that can realize the desired performance, we adopt a model-free approach. In this study, the control law of practical MR-MFC is derived by extending the traditional MFC based on an ultra-local model and using a data-driven design method. The MFC approach can be applied to nonlinear systems with few parameters, and the data-driven method provides optimized parameters from single-experiment time-series data without the need for repeated experiments and system model to be controlled. Additionally, the processing cost is considerably low because the controller parameter can be obtained using least-square methods. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified using a multibody vehicle simulator. The yaw rate tracking performance is examined under different velocities and loads. Results showed that the root-mean-square error of the proposed method is approximately 1/100th of that when using a fixed PID controller optimized using a data-driven method.

    Abstract To prevent the degradations of comfort and drivability, this research presents an improved fuzzy-logic-based active oscillation control algorithm for an automotive powertrain with a time-fluctuated control cycle limitation. A sampled-data controller is firstly employed as the base control, and a model-predictive algorithm is implemented to compute the optimal control signals at a periodic time interval. However, the update timing of the real control input fluctuates over time due to the powertrain actuator limitation. The fuzzy reasoning is applied to tackle the time-fluctuated control cycles. In the present method, the update timing is translated into some fuzzy sets. Moreover, the periodic control signals by the sampled-data controller are combined as fuzziness, resulting in linguistic fuzzy sets. Six fuzzy rules are created based on those fuzzy sets to derive feasible control inputs at the fluctuated updating timings. The control strategy is tested via simulations with a powertrain oscillation model. The compensation effect is observed for the two patterns of the fluctuated control cycles. In addition, the test results confirm the improvement of the oscillation reduction over a conventional control algorithm.

    Abstract Model-free active vibration control based on a virtual controlled object (VCO) has attracted a great deal of attention due to its simplicity. This study experimentally compares VCO-based model-free vibration control with model-based control in terms of the robustness to characteristic changes in an actual controlled object. The VCO is designed so as to achieve model-free vibration suppression in the designated frequency band. A state equation for designing a model-free vibration controller is constructed using only the actuator model and the VCO. The VCO-based model-free controller is designed based on the mixed H2/H∞ synthesis for the state equation. The model-based mixed H2/H∞ controller is designed based on the mathematical model of a both ends supported plate (BESP). The VCO-based and model-based controllers are tuned through vibration control experiment so that both controllers provide the same vibration reduction effects for the BESP. Then these controllers are applied to a vibration control experiment for a cantilever plate which is totally different from the BESP. As a result, the VCO-controller exhibits a good vibration suppression for the cantilever while the model-based one totally fails, revealing the advantage of the VCO-approach over the model-based strategy in the viewpoint of the robustness.

    To ensure comfortability and lifetime of components, transient vibrations in a vehicle powertrain must be suppressed. This study proposes a novel active vibration control strategy with straightforward fuzzy inference compensation for time-fluctuations of control periods of engines used as actuators. First, a model prediction algorithm including a sampled-data controller (SDC) is applied for addressing the maximal phase lag of the control input caused by the fluctuated control period. Fluctuated renewal timings of the control input that are deviated from those of the periodical operated SDC are defined by fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets are expressed as “Nearly past timing” and “Nearly future timing.” Using a human-intuition-like fuzzy compensation with only four inference rules, unknown control inputs at fluctuated update timings are reasonably determined from such fuzzy sets and periodical control signals given by the SDC. Experiments using an actual test device are performed to investigate the damping performance of the proposed control scheme. The experimental tests demonstrate that the novel active damping strategy significantly reduces transient vibrations despite the fluctuated control period. Moreover, several different test conditions newly reveal the robustness of the fuzzy compensation against fluctuations of variable regions in the control periods.

    Dual-ball-screw feed drive systems (DBSFDSs) are designed for most high-end manufacturing equipment. However, the mismatch between the dynamic characteristic parameters (e.g., stiffness and inertia) and the P-PI cascade control method reduces the accuracy of the DBSFDSs owing to the structural characteristic changes in the motion. Moreover, the parameters of the P-PI cascade controller of the DBSFDSs are always the same even though the two axes have different dynamic characteristics, and it is difficult to tune two-axis parameters simultaneously. A new application of the combination of the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm and the P-PI cascade controller is presented to solve these problems and enhance the motion performance of DBSFDSs. The novelty is that the flexible coupling model and dynamic stiffness obtained from the motor current can better represent the two-axis coupling dynamic characteristics, and the GWO algorithm is used to adjust the P-PI controller parameters to address variations in the positions of the moving parts and reflect characteristic differences between the two axes. Comparison of simulation and experimental results validated the superiority of the proposed controller over existing ones in practical applications, showing a decrease in the tracking error of the tool center and non-synchronization error of over 34% and 39%, respectively.

    This study experimentally verifies robustness of a model-free vibration controller based on a virtual controlled object (VCO) considering parametric uncertainty of actuator. A proof-mass actuator, which can be modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, is used. A VCO, which is defined as an SDOF structure, is introduced between a real controlled object and the actuator model. The parameters of the VCO are determined so as to achieve model-free vibration control. A state equation to derive the model-free controller is constructed using the two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) structure composed of the actuator model and the VCO. The parametric uncertainty of the actuator is quantitatively characterized in the 2DOF structure. The mixed [Formula: see text] control theory is used to design a model-free controller. The vibration suppression performance and robustness to the actuator uncertainty of the proposed method are validated by experiments. Simulation studies are also conducted to enhance the validity of the experimental results. As a result, the proposed damping method exhibits good damping performance and strong robustness to the actuator uncertainty and characteristic changes in controlled object.

    Abstract Purpose This study improves the robustness of the model-free controller based on a virtual structure. Additionally, the adverse interference between the proof-mass actuator resonance and a controlled object is investigated as it is not clarified in the previous studies. Methods and Results A virtual structure modeled as a SDOF system was inserted between the actuator and the actual controlled object. This achieved the indirect damping of the actual controlled object and model-free control. Vibration control simulations were conducted for various finite element models with a model-free $${H}_{\infty }$$ H ∞ controller based on a virtual structure. The results demonstrate that the actuator resonance adversely affects the stability of the control system when the controlled object has a mode whose natural frequency is too close to that of the actuator. Therefore, a notch filter was applied to the model-free $${H}_{\infty }$$ H ∞ controller design approach to suppress the resonance without affecting the damping performance. The improved controller with notch filter is more robust to the resonance of the actuator than the previous one. Conclusions The resonance of the proof-mass actuator adversely affects the stability of the control system composed of the previous model-free $${H}_{\infty }$$ H ∞ controller when the low-order vibration mode of the actual controlled object is too close to the natural frequency of the actuator. Introducing a notch filter into the model-free approach based on a virtual structure effectively reduces the negative impact due to the resonance of the actuator and improves the robustness of the control system.

    A parameter tuning technique without manual trial-and-error procedures is proposed for a controller in a model-free vibration control system based on a virtual controlled object (VCO), which is defined as a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. The model-free control system is constructed by inserting a VCO between the actuator and the actual controlled object. A reference controlled object (RCO), which is also expressed as an SDOF system, is defined for the configured model-free control system. Then the loss function, which is calculated using the RCO vibration control simulation results, is used to evaluate the vibration suppression performance. The simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) adjusts the controller tuning parameters to minimize the loss function. The SPSA- and RCO-based tuning procedures automatically tune the model-free controller without manual trial-and-error procedures. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that a model-free linear quadratic regulator designed by the proposed approach provides sufficient vibration reduction.

    The direct tuning of controller parameters based on data-driven control has attracted considerable attention because of its simple controller design. In this study, we proposed a direct tuning method based on a fictitious reference signal to obtain controller and reference model parameters. In the method, predicted input/output data with respect to controller parameters are used. The predicted data with pole information are obtained based on instability detecting-fictitious reference iterative tuning, which can ensure bounded-input, bounded-output stability. We derived a new objective function with constraints using the predicted data to automatically obtain controller and reference model parameters to perform a fast response under model matching and input constraints. The function consists of an evaluation part in which the fastest responsive reference model is requested and constraint parts that include model-matching errors and input amounts. A simulation was performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed method provided controller and reference model parameters for the model matching and input constraints from one-shot data without trial and error.

    This study proposes a gain-scheduled controller with direct tuning for the position control of a pneumatic clutch actuator that is installed in heavy-duty trucks. Pneumatic clutch actuators are highly nonlinear systems and cannot be easily controlled. Industries require a simple controller design that is easy to understand and requires few trial-and-error calibrations. Therefore, we adopted a gain-scheduled proportional integral derivative (PID) control law, which is a well-known and easy-to-understand nonlinear control method. In this approach, a gain scheduler is expressed using polynomials composed of coefficient parameters and controlled object states. The unknown coefficient parameters of the polynomials are directly tuned from the controlled object input/output data without having to use a controlled object model. The proposed controller design procedure is simple and does not require system identification or trial-and-error tuning. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by an experiment using an actual vehicle. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method for the position control of pneumatic clutch actuators.

    The direct tuning of controller parameters, which is based on data-driven control, has been attracting considerable attention because of the ease of its control system design. In practical use, it is important to consider the stability of the closed-loop system and model matching with few design parameters. In this study, we propose a direct tuning method based on a fictitious reference signal that considers the bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) and model matching without repeating experiments. The proposed method includes two steps. In the first step, the BIBO stability is satisfied. The pole information is lost in the cost function of the conventional method using a fictitious reference signal. Then, we derive a new cost function that can prevent the loss of the pole information. This provides controller parameters that can stabilize the closed-loop system. The model matching between the reference model and the closed-loop system is considered in the second step. When model matching is achieved, the characteristics of the reference model almost match those of the closed-loop system, including the gain and phase margins. The parameters of the reference model are automatically tuned to realize model matching. Using the two-step method, we can obtain parameters considering BIBO stability and the model matching. In addition, there are no design parameters apart from the dealing noise. Two simulations and an experiment were performed on a system with dead time to verify the effectiveness of the proposed two-step method. The results showed that the proposed method provides BIBO stability and model-matched control parameters from the measured data through a one-time experiment without trial and error.

    Many methods based on acoustic vibration characteristics have been studied to indirectly assess fruit ripeness via fruit firmness. Among these, the frequency of the 0S2 vibration mode measured on the equator has been examined, but soft-flesh fruit do not show the 0S2 vibration mode. In this study, a Rayleigh wave is generated on a soft mango fruit using the impulse excitation force generated by a laser-induced plasma shock wave technique. Then, the flesh firmness of mangoes is assessed in a non-contact and non-destructive manner by observing the Rayleigh wave propagation velocity because it is correlated with the firmness (shear elasticity), density, and Poisson’s ratio of an object. If the changes in the density and Poisson’s ratio are small enough to be ignored during storage, then the Rayleigh wave propagation velocity is strongly correlated to fruit firmness. Here, we measure the Rayleigh wave propagation velocity and investigate the effect of storage time. Specifically, we investigate the changes in firmness caused by ripening. The Rayleigh wave propagation velocity on the equator of Kent mangoes tended to decrease by over 4% in 96 h. The Rayleigh wave measured on two different lines propagated independent distance and showed a different change rate of propagation velocity during 96-h storage. Furthermore, we consider the reliability of our method by investigating the interaction of a mango seed on the Rayleigh wave propagation velocity.

    Active vibration control of automotive drivetrains must be developed to compensate for the backlash of gears because it causes undesired responses. In addition, an engine used as an actuator has a constraint which makes the control periods longer and time-varying, resulting in deterioration of the control performance. The contribution of this study is to cope with all the issues described above, backlash and the control period constraint, simultaneously. First, a basic experimental device, which simplifies an actual vehicle to focus on the effect due to backlash, is demonstrated. In the device, the control period constraint, which is equivalent to that of an engine, is reproduced by a digital signal processor. To reduce an adverse effect due to the extension of the control period, the sampled-data controller, which does not require discretization in its implementation, is employed. In this paper, predictive processing using the servo-type sampled-data controller is proposed to compensate for the phase delay of the control input caused by the time-varying control period. In addition, a control mode switching technique included in the prediction suppresses undesired responses due to backlash. Finally, control experiments verify the effectiveness of the control system.

    © 2020 The Author(s) Bolt/nut assemblies are commonly used in machines and structures to enable easy assembly and disassembly. However, the axial force (i.e. the fastening force) of such assemblies decreases due to recursive external loading on the bolt/nut assemblies or chronic progressive wearing of the assemblies. Consequently, axial force monitoring is essential in preventing serious failure due to loss of functions in the assembly or fatigue. This study proves that the axial force on bolt/nut assemblies can be measured by investigating changes in the bending mode natural frequency of the bolt's threaded portion that protrudes from the nut (hereinafter referred to as the “protruding thread part“). This method is postulated on the observation that a reduction in the axial force decreases the joint stiffness of the bolt/nut assembly at the protruding thread part, leading to a shift in the characteristic peak frequency of the bending mode. A bolt/nut assembly is formed and its bending mode shapes and bending mode frequencies are obtained by impact tests. A series of tests are performed to define a quantitative measure of the correlation between the shift in the bending mode frequency and the axial force on the bolt/nut assembly. This method enables to perform measurement of the axial force on the bolt/nut assembly of −40 to −50% in the frequency range between 25 and 35 kHz. Dependency of the accuracy of this method on bolt aspect ratio (protruding length/nominal diameter) shows that lower aspect ratios are better suited for measuring axial force via bending mode frequency variation.

    The purpose of this research is to construct a simple and practical controller design method, considering the actuator’s parameter uncertainty, without using a model of controlled objects. In this method, a controller is designed with an actuator model including a single-degree-of-freedom virtual structure inserted between actuator and controlled object, resulting in a model-free controller design. Furthermore, an [Formula: see text] control problem is defined so that the actuator’s parameter uncertainty is compensated by satisfying a robust stability condition. Because the actuator model including the virtual controlled object is a simple low-order system, and the actuator’s parameter uncertainty is considered, a controller with high robustness to the actuator’s parameter uncertainty can be designed based on traditional model-based control theory. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by both simulation and experiment.

    This paper proposes a vibration control method of an automotive drive system with backlash to maintain stability and control performance under the control period constraint due to an engine's characteristics. Reducing the vibrations of the automotive drive system remains a challenge when improving the riding comfort and driving performance of automobiles. In particular, a vibration control method must be developed to compensate for the backlash of differential gears because this element degrades the vibration control performance. Furthermore, engines used as actuators have a constraint in which control cycles are made longer due to restrictions of the input update. The roughly updated cycles adversely affect not only the high vibration control performance but also the stability. In this study, we validate the control system for an automotive drive system with backlash by considering the input update limitation. First, a basic experimental device, which abstracts actual vehicles to focus on the influence due to backlash while reflecting only the basic structure of an automotive drive system, is created. Then to cope with the control cycle constraint, sampled-data H-2 control is applied. The servo system is constructed by applying an approximate integrator and frequency shaping. As an approach to compensate for backlash, we propose a simple and practical control mode switching technique. Finally, the effectiveness of the control system is verified experimentally. The results are compared to the control results with those obtained by the traditional discrete approximation.

    A health-monitoring system is proposed to detect holes drilled in a pipe based on laser plasma acoustic excitations and acoustic measurements. In this system, an acoustic excitation is applied to a pipe via a laser-induced plasma in air generated by a high-power Nd: YAG pulse laser. Laser-induced plasmas can realize non-contact acoustic impulse excitations. A microphone is used to measure the time response of the acoustic pressure. In this study, we focus on the detection of a hole in the pipe. The reflection of the acoustic wave due to a hole drilled in the pipe induces a change in the time response of the acoustic pressure. Applying a continuous wavelet transform to the measured time response data with/without the hole can locate the position of the hole. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the present damage detection method based on an acoustic excitation using a laser-induced plasma.

    Model-based controllers with adaptive design variables are often used to control an object with time-dependent characteristics. However, the controller's performance is influenced by many factors such as modeling accuracy and fluctuations in the object's characteristics. One method to overcome these negative factors is to tune model-based controllers. Herein we propose an online tuning method to maintain control performance for an object that exhibits time-dependent variations. The proposed method employs the poles of the controller as design variables because the poles significantly impact performance. Specifically, we use the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) to optimize a model-based controller with multiple design variables. Moreover, a vibration control experiment of an object with time-dependent characteristics as the temperature is varied demonstrates that the proposed method allows adaptive control and stably maintains the closed-loop characteristics.

    © 2017, The Author(s). Abstract: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technique to identify the viscoelastic moduli of biological tissues by solving the inverse problem from the displacement field of viscoelastic wave propagation in a tissue measured by MRI. Because finite element analysis (FEA) of MRE evaluates not only the viscoelastic model for a tissue but also the efficiency of the inversion algorithm, we developed FEA for MRE using commercial software called ANSYS, the Zener model for displacement field of a wave inside tissue, and an inversion algorithm called the modified integral method. The profile of the simulated displacement field by FEA agrees well with the experimental data measured by MRE for gel phantoms. Similarly, the value of storage modulus (i.e., stiffness) recovered using the modified integral method with the simulation data is consistent with the value given in FEA. Furthermore, applying the suggested FEA to a human liver demonstrates the effectiveness of the present simulation scheme. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

    This paper proposes a non-contact damage detection method based on Lamb waves generated by laser ablation (LA). Previously, Lamb waves generated by contact-type sensors such as acoustic emission or piezoelectric zirconate titanate devices have been studied to detect damage. Lamb wave generation systems with embedded contact-type excitation devices to objective structures to be inspected may quickly realize large-area damage detection on a huge object such as an aircraft. However, replacing contact-type devices with non-contact devices in Lamb wave generation systems, the systems will have sufficient potential to excite under the specific conditions such as submerged target structures in liquid and high-temperature substances. The LA-generated Lamb waves that have amplitudes several hundred times larger than those generated by conventional laser-thermoelastically generated Lamb waves are of advantage from the viewpoint of the signal-to-noise ratio in the measurements. When the laser fluence reaches 10(12)-10(14) W/m(2), which is greater than that for laser-thermoelastic regime, a LA regime is induced. The amplitudes of the LA-generated Lamb waves might be higher than those of the laser-thermoelastically generated Lamb waves; this is within the scope of the assumption. Since the LA process entails a number of nonlinear processes such as melting, vaporization, and sublimation, it is important to confirm that LA could generate a Lamb wave and its mode. In this paper, Lamb waves that contain broadband frequency elements of more than several hundred kHz are generated by non-contact impulse excitation using LA, which is common in vibration tests in the high-frequency range, laser peening, propulsion of micro-aircraft, bolt loosening diagnosis, etc. The present method is evaluated by comparing the measured and calculated propagation phase and group velocities of the Lamb waves. Furthermore, the feasibility of our approach is demonstrated by non-contact damage detection against an aluminum alloy 2024 plate with a crack.

    Various indexes have been used to assess the ripeness of fruit, including peel color and firmness because added value is given to fruit when grade selection is determined objectively. In this paper, we realize a non-destructive firmness assessment for apples by means of a non-contact vibration test method. We investigate their natural frequencies and vibration mode shapes because these factors influence the S-0(2) mode, which is related to firmness. A laser-induced plasma shock wave generated with a high-output Nd: YAG pulsed laser is applied to apples as an excitation force. Firmness is assessed with this non-contact and non-destructive method using the apple's vibration response spectra measured with a laser Doppler vibrometer. The effectiveness of this method is experimentally demonstrated through assessments of apples' firmness, identification of the vibration mode shapes, and a follow-up survey on the flesh firmness of apples during storage.

    To realize a vibration suppression of flexible structures like a membrane, our research focuses on introducing smart structures technology into the membrane structure. In this study, the membrane structure is composed of a vibration control system using a flexible Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film as an actuator. A non-contact vibration test system, which uses a high power Nd: YAG pulse laser for producing an ideal impulse excitation and laser Doppler vibrometers for measuring the response on the membrane, is employed to evaluate the vibration characteristics of the smart membrane structure. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, using a flexible PVDF actuator installed on the membrane structure, control experiments with H control for reducing single mode and multiple modes vibration are conducted. In the results of the control experiments for single mode vibration suppression, a corresponding resonance peak is reduced by around 20 dB. In case of multiple modes vibration suppression, the first and second resonance peaks are reduced by 14 dB and 24 dB, respectively. This study demonstrates that the present control method using a flexible piezoelectric element and a non-contact vibration test system effectively suppress and evaluate the vibration responses of smart membrane structures.

    To meet the more stringent environmental requirements of automobile exhaust gas emissions, diesel engines have recently received increased attention due to their high heat efficiency. To lower fuel consumption and reduce exhaust gas simultaneously, fuel combustion must be more precisely controlled. For example, the oxygen concentration, which affects emissions, is controlled by exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable nozzle turbo (VNT). However, realizing a controlled design is difficult due to system non-linearity and strong interference between EGR and VNT. Recently, various design methods have employed the so-called model-based control design, but this design approach is difficult to use when the controlled object is complex. Currently, mass production uses gain scheduling of map-based on proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, in which each gain is tuned at various operational points. However, map calibration has many drawbacks, including time-consuming tuning, difficulty tuning during transient operations and problems adapting to the individual variations in the engine characteristics. This study proposes a construction method for a model-free adaptive PID controller using the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) and its performance is confirmed in an engine bench test.

    To maintain the NOX concentration at an appropriate level, traditionally an air-path control that regulates the intake and exhaust system of diesel engines aims to control the mass air flow and the manifold absolute pressure, which influence the production of NOX. To improve the control accuracy, a more recent approach takes the NOX concentration directly as a controlled output variable, but the sensors monitoring the NOX concentration are slow to respond. Consequently, a direct sensor is inappropriate as a feedback controller. Instead a mechanism called a soft sensor, which computes the NOX concentration from state quantities of diesel engines, is used. Because the prediction accuracy from the sensor model greatly affects the control performance, it is important to improve the model accuracy. However, deviations in the steady state indicate an insufficient model accuracy. This study proposes a method to construct an adaptive NOX soft sensor that corrects the parameters of the sensor model sequentially using the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation while comparing the values computed by the software to actual measurements as well as examines the effectiveness of the proposed method experimentally.

    A pulsed-laser ablation method for non-contact experimental vibration analysis of completely submerged underwater structures is proposed. Although impact testing with an impulse hammer is commonly used for vibration analysis due to its simplicity, impact testing has limited use in underwater conditions. An input-detection-free frequency response function measurement in water will greatly contribute to the development of high-precision and high-speed positioning autonomous underwater vehicles, underwater vehicle-manipulators, underwater robots, submarines, etc., which are used in dangerous conditions (e.g., deep oceans, under ice, and nuclear reactor plants). To achieve these high-performance underwater systems, vibrations due to hydrodynamic parameters (such as added mass, buoyant force, drag force, and damping coefficient) should be suppressed, and vibration tests should be conducted on the actual equipment submerged in water. The proposed method yields the frequency response function by applying a pulsed-laser-ablation excitation force to an underwater structure and measuring the output using a laser Doppler vibrometer. Because the direction, strength, and effective duration of the pulsed-laser-ablation force are essentially constant, this force can be estimated by measuring these properties in advance. Hence, the proposed method realizes input-detection-free frequency response function measurements in underwater conditions.

    Herein a vibration test method is discussed based on a non-contact, non-destructive excitation input using a laser-induced plasma (LIP) shock wave and a non-contact input estimation using Newton's second law of motion. We have previously introduced a non-contact vibration test method using an excitation force generated by laser ablation, but it cannot be used when the target structure is lightweight, fragile, and small-sized because a crater with a diameter of several micrometers is created. The LIP generates a highly reproducible shock wave, which become an excitation force to a target structure. This shock wave depends on the gas density, gas specific heat ratio, laser fluence, and ambient environment. If these parameters are constant, the LIP excitation force can be estimated beforehand, allowing only the output measurement to determine the frequency response measurement of an input-output relationship of the target structure. After calibrating the LIP excitation, the frequency response function of a target structure can be obtained.

    Although transparent materials with birefringent properties (e.g., solar panels and separator films for secondary cells) are common, damage detection during the manufacturing process is crucial to economically realize high-quality materials. Herein a method using a pulsed-laser and a high-speed polarization-imaging camera is proposed to rapidly detect damage, including scratches and dents, in transparent materials. Specifically, as stress waves, which are generated by a non-contact impulse excitation from laser ablation, propagate through a material, the stress concentrations induced around damage are measured as the two-dimensional birefringent phase differences using a high-speed polarization-imaging camera with a microsecond-order temporal resolution. When stress is dominant, the distribution of the measured birefringent phase difference can be considered the relative distribution of stress. Using acrylic plates as a representative transparent material with several hundred micrometers of damage (e.g., a dent or a scratch), we demonstrate that the proposed method detects damage in a very short timeframe of several microseconds.

    The present paper proposes a multi-objective optimization technique for smart laminated composites to maximize two conflicting objectives. The first objective is the performance of active vibration control of smart composite with piezoelectric (PZT) actuators. The second is the fundamental frequency of smart structures related to the performance of passive vibration control. Both performances of active and passive vibration control are maximized simultaneously. The vibration suppression of smart structures strongly depends on both actuator placements and vibration mode shapes. It is possible to design vibration mode shapes for laminated fibrous composites since their anisotropy for whole thickness is tailorable by arranging fiber orientation angle in each layer. This allows the smart structure with laminated composite to archive higher performance of vibration suppression than those with isotropic materials. However, the optimized structure results in lower natural frequencies than composites with typical fiber orientation angles since an effective input of control force from actuators is realized for the structure with lower stiffness. This reveals that there is a trade-off relation for smart composite structures between the performance of active vibration suppression and natural frequencies. To disclose this relation, the present study applies the effective multi-objective optimization technique, the refined non-dominated genetic algorithm (NSGAII), and obtains Pareto optimal solutions. Calculated results are successfully validated by a comparison with those from the real-time control experiment where a laser excitation technique which is effective to small sized structures is used.

    High-quality fruits classified by ripeness of the fruits in a quantitative way are important for farm producers and customers. Therefore, many ripeness assessment methods, which are biochemical methods, physical methods, and optical methods, have been studied by researchers. The ripeness assessment techniques of fruits based on vibration tests have more potential because the techniques are based on non-destructive test. The ripeness of fruits is assessed by measuring natural frequencies of fruits in vibration tests, since firmness decline of fruits can be used to assess a ripeness of the fruits by past studies. In general, an impulse hammer and a shaker as contact-type excitation equipment are used in vibration tests for assessing ripeness of fruits. However, when target fruits are soft and small-sized as well as lightweight such as a grape, the implements with contact might not be used to assess the ripeness. In this paper, we measure natural frequencies of fruits in vibration tests using a shock wave generated by laser-induced plasma.

    As environmental regulations become stricter, diesel engines must become cleaner. Hence, in addition to combustion control, aftertreatment of the exhaust is important to reduce emissions involving NOX and diesel particulate matter (DPM). NOX is eliminated by a chemical reaction with ammonia, which is generated by hydrolysis of injected urea. Although the NOX concentration must be accurately detected to ensure the appropriate quantity of urea is used, the response speed of the current NOX sensor is too slow to follow transient operations. In this paper, a new NOX adaptive soft sensor for aftertreatment of diesel engines is described, and its basic characteristics are confirmed via an engine bench test.

    This study aimed to apply magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) using micro-magnetic resonance imaging (micro-MRI) system for the measurements of viscoelastic modulus in soft matters. The rectangular specimens of 90 × 70 × 50 mm were made of agarose gel with five kinds of stiffness by changing concentrations. The specimens were oscillated with longitudinal waves transmitted by an elastic-bar from a vibration generator in a micro-MRI system. Since the viscoelastic properties depend on the excitation frequency and amplitude, the experimental conditions were selected in the range of 50-250 Hz and 0.1-0.5 mm. The viscoelastic modulus was expressed as storage shear modulus G´ and loss shear modulus G˝. As a result, G´ increased with the frequency and amplitude, and the difference of G´ between hard and soft gels was obtained. The viscoelastic modulus of agarose gels was measured using the MRE system under the excitation conditions. Furthermore, double-layer specimens composed of 0.6 and 2.0 wt% gels were examined as an application of the MRE system. The difference of wave pattern between the hard and soft parts was observed. The values of G´ in the soft parts of the double-layer specimens corresponded to the value of the single-layer specimen, but the values of G´ in the hard parts were varied.

    This study proposes an online tuning method using a model-based controller with adaptive parameters in the controller to effectively maintain the control performance and stability due to characteristic variations in the structure. Although model-based control generally provides a highly controllable performance, its performance depends on the modeling accuracy of the controlled object. Typically modeling errors, characteristics that change over time, etc. cause the performance to deteriorate. Hence, tuning of the model-based controller's characteristics is proposed as a method to adapt to the errors between a real object and its model. The main idea of the tuning method proposed in this study is that tuning the poles of the controller greatly affects control performance and stability. The tuning algorithm in the proposed method employs the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA), which is well suited for optimization problems with multiple design variables. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed tuning method, it is applied to vibration control simulations in which the model of the controlled object is perturbed to change its physical characteristics, and then the controller is tuned to adapt to these changes. Since SPSA is a stochastic optimization method, Monte Carlo simulations are also conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed tuning method.

    This paper proposes a constitution method for an adaptive PID control system that follows a non-stationary system. Because a PID controller has various practical benefits that are easy to implement, unnecessary of controlled model and highly robust, it is the most common control system in industrial world even today. However, its main drawback is that tuning is time consuming because each parameter is determined empirically based on trial-and-error, which is especially noticeable in a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system composed of multiple PID controllers with interference between control input and controlled output. Other methods have been proposed, including the Ziegler-Nichols ultimate sensitivity method, but it cannot deal with a MIMO system. Additionally, methods using optimization exist, but they cannot provide online tuning for non-stationary systems during operations due to the numerous tuning parameters and repeated computations. In this study, we introduce a computationally efficient optimization method called the Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) and investigate its performances when applied to a PID control system. We also propose an online parameter tuning method for the controller by improving the standard SPSA algorithm. The efficiency of proposed method is demonstrated by applying it to a MIMO system, which has some interference.

    A method to generate a pulse sound source for acoustic tests based on nanosecond laser ablation with a plasma plume is discussed. Irradiating a solid surface with a laser beam expands a high-temperature plasma plume composed of free electrons, ionized atoms, etc. at a high velocity throughout ambient air. The shockwave generated by the plasma plume becomes the pulse sound source. A laser ablation sound source has two features. Because laser ablation is induced when the laser fluence reaches 10(12)-10(14) W/m(2), which is less than that for laser-induced breakdown (10(15) W/m(2)), laser ablation can generate a lower sound pressure, and the sound source has a hemispherical radiation pattern on the surface where laser ablation is generated. Additionally, another feature is that laser-induced breakdown sound sources can fluctuate, whereas laser ablation sound sources do not because laser ablation is produced at a laser beam-irradiation point We validate this laser ablation method for acoustic tests by comparing the measured and theoretical resonant frequencies of an impedance tube.

    Photonic crystals with tunability in the visible region are of great interest for controlling light diffraction. Mechanochromic photonic materials are periodically structured soft materials designed with a photonic stop-band that can be tuned by mechanical forces to reflect specific colours. Soft photonic materials with broad colour tunability and fast colour switching are invaluable for application. Here we report a novel mechano-actuated, soft photonic hydrogel that has an ultrafast-response time, full-colour tunable range, high spatial resolution and can be actuated by a very small compressive stress. In addition, the material has excellent mechanical stability and the colour can be reversibly switched at high frequency more than 10,000 times without degradation. This material can be used in optical devices, such as full-colour display and sensors to visualize the time evolution of complicated stress/strain fields, for example, generated during the motion of biological cells.

    In this paper, a vibration testing and health monitoring system based on an impulse response excited by laser is proposed to detect damage in membrane structures. A high power Nd: YAG pulse laser is used to supply an ideal impulse to a membrane structure by generating shock waves via laser-induced breakdown in air. A health monitoring apparatus is developed with this vibration testing system and a damage detecting algorithm which only requires the vibration mode shape of the damaged membrane. Artificial damage is induced in membrane structure by cutting and tearing the membrane. The vibration mode shapes of the membrane structure extracted from vibration testing by using the laser-induced breakdown and laser Doppler vibrometer are then analyzed by 2-D continuous wavelet transformation. The location of damage is determined by the dominant peak of the wavelet coefficient which can be seen clearly by applying a boundary treatment and the concept of an iso-surface to the 2-D wavelet coefficient. The applicability of the present approach is verified by finite element analysis and experimental results, demonstrating the ability of the method to detect and identify the positions of damage induced on the membrane structure.

    This paper presents a robustness analysis of an enhanced adaptive feed-forward cancellation (AFC) function for a control system. The AFC is known as an adaptive control method, and the adaptive algorithm can estimate a periodic disturbance. In a previous study, an enhanced AFC was developed to compensate for non-periodic disturbances. The effectiveness of the enhanced AFC there was shown with only simulation results. In this study, the stable robustness of the enhanced AFC is analyzed for a one degree of freedom system. When the enhanced AFC is implemented to around a resonant frequency, the variations in the mechanical characteristics may cause instabilities in the control system, because the performance of the enhanced AFC depends on the phase condition of the mechanical characteristics. The experimental results show that variations in the resonant frequency may cause oscillation when the enhanced AFC design does not consider this kind of variation. The study confirms that the enhanced AFC must be designed considering variations in the resonant frequency.

    Ocean robots that equipped with manipulator for building underwater structures and handling investigations of ocean resources have been studied. To achieve high-precision and high-speed positioning for the manipulator, its vibration caused by an additional mass effect of fluid, a drag force and a buoyant force, etc. should be evaluated by vibration tests in water in actual equipment and suppressed through this evaluation. However, the vibration tests of the underwater structures (we refer to machines and structures in water as underwater structures) to measure frequency response function are difficult. This paper proposes a method of a non-contact experimental vibration analysis using pulsed-laser ablation for the underwater structures that were completely submerged in water. The impact testing with impulse hammer is used widely for experimental vibration analysis due to the simplicity of the apparatus. However, the impact testing has limitations in use in underwater condition because it is difficult for experimenters to operate the impact hammer in water. The proposed method yields the frequency response functions by applying a pulsed-laser-ablation excitation force to the structure and measuring the output using a laser Doppler vibrometer. Since the direction, strength and effective duration of the pulsed-laser-ablation force are essentially constant, this force can be calibrated by measuring these properties in advance. Therefore input-detection-free frequency response function measurements can be realized. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the present vibration test method for the underwater structures.

    In this paper, we present a comparison study between a resonant filter and an adaptive feed-forward cancellation (AFC). To compensate for disturbances, the resonant filter decreases the gain of the sensitivity function by using the vector locus. The adaptive learning method adjusts the coefficients of the AFC to compensate for a disturbance. Each method does not make difference with respect to performance for disturbance compensation. However, important factors for constructing the control system should be also considered to implement for a control systems in addition to the performance. This paper introduces comparison study between the resonant filter and the AFC for implementation of a control system. The simulations of the disturbance compensation were conducted using an HDD Benchmark Problem as a case study. Engineers can decide which control theory is better to be implemented in the control system with reference to this study.

    This paper introduces a theoretical analysis of the disturbance compensation methods in positioning systems. There are two major methods used to compensate for disturbances. The first one is based on a loop shaping method and the second one is based on an adaptive learning method. We make a comparison between a resonant filter used as the loop shaping method and an enhanced adaptive feed-forward cancellation (AFC) method used as the adaptive learning method. To compensate disturbances, the resonant filter decreases the gain of the sensitivity function at the disturbance frequency by using the vector locus. The adaptive learning method adjusts the coefficients of the enhanced AFC to compensate for a disturbance. We found that the LTI model of an enhanced AFC is the same as that for a resonant filter when we compared their characteristics. A simulation of the disturbance compensation in a hard disk drive showed that these time responses and frequency responses coincided. Moreover, the results showed advantages of each of the control methods with the exception of the performance. A resonant filter realizes low cost implementation with compare to an enhanced AFC. That is, a resonant filter easier to implement than an enhanced AFC. An enhanced AFC has the utility to realize a high quality function control system simultaneously able to compensate and estimate for disturbances. The results of the evaluation in this study will provide design engineers with guidelines for selecting an optimum control strategy in actual applications.

    In this paper, a vibration testing and health monitoring system based on an impulse response excited by laser ablation is proposed to detect bolted joint loosening. A high power Nd: YAG pulse laser is used to generate an ideal impulse on a structural surface which offers the potential to measure high frequency vibration responses on the structure. A health monitoring apparatus is developed with this vibration testing system and a damage detecting algorithm. The joint loosening can be estimated by detecting fluctuations of the high frequency response with the health monitoring system. Additionally, a finite element model of bolted joints is proposed by using three-dimensional elements with a pretension force applied and with contact between components taken into account to support the bolt loosening detection method. Frequency responses obtained from the finite element analysis and the experiments using the laser excitation are in good agreement. The bolt loosening can be detected and identified by introducing a damage index by statistical evaluations of the frequency response data using the Recognition-Taguchi method. The effectiveness of the present approach is verified by simulations and experimental results, which are able to detect and identify loose bolt positions in a six-bolt joint cantilever.

    This paper proposes a method of acoustic testing based on a point source generated by laser-induced breakdown in air. A high-power neodymium-yttrium- aluminum-garnet pulse laser is used in this system for generating the laser-induced breakdown in acoustic fields. Plasma formation can be realized by the laser-induced breakdown if the local intensity of the laser beam reaches 1015 W/m2. The shock wave that is yielded by consuming a part of the plasma energy becomes a sound source. Assuming that the laser beam is focused to a small volume through a convex lens and the sound source by the laser induced-breakdown has nondirectional property, it is possible to create a point source with this technique. Securing the laser light path installs no device for acoustic excitation in acoustic fields. The system is validated by comparing the resonant frequencies of a very small space measured by the laser-induced breakdown and calculated by theoretical model. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The variable gains can help to improve the convergence characteristic of the enhanced AFC after the track seeking control. Therefore, the proposed enhanced AFC can improve the transient response of the head positioning after the track seeking control. The track seeking simulation results from HDDs showed that the proposed control method compensated for the disturbances caused by the repeatable run-out (RRO) and airflowinduced vibration immediately after the track seeking control. © 2013 by JSME.

    In this paper, the authors propose a finite element model of a simple single bolt joint that undergoes loosening in order to verify characteristic changes due to bolt loosening and develop a loose-bolt detection system. The model is created using 3D solid elements and surface-to-surface contact elements between head/nut and flange interfaces. Pretension effects and contact behavior between flanges to be joined are also taken into account. In order to validate the finite element model by experiment, vibration testing method based on non-contact impulse excitation by high-power YAG pulse laser which can produce an ideal impulse is conducted. The characteristic changes due to the bolt loosening in high frequency region can be extracted by the present laser excitation system. Finally, an approach of loose bolt detection is demonstrated by applying statistical evaluation of Recognition-Taguchi (RT) method to a six bolt cantilever which has loose bolt.

AFC is known as an adaptive control method, and the adaptive algorithm can estimate a periodic disturbance. In a previous study, an enhanced AFC was developed to compensate for a non-periodic disturbance. An active vibration control based on self-sensing by DVFB can suppress mechanical resonance by using relative velocity between the voice coil actuator and a target structure. In this study, the enhanced AFC was applied to compensate disturbance for the self-sensing vibration control system. The simulation results showed the vibration control system with DVFB and enhanced AFC could suppress mechanical resonance and compensate disturbances.

    We have developed a non-contact vibration-measurement system that is based on impulse excitation by laser ablation (i.e. laser excitation) to measure the high-frequency-vibration characteristics of objects. The proposed method makes it possible to analyse the frequency response function just by measuring the output (acceleration response) of a test object excited by pulsed-laser ablation. This technique does not require detection of the input force. Firstly, using a rigid block, the pulsed-laser-ablation force is calibrated via Newton's second law. Secondly, an experiment is conducted in which an object whose natural frequency lies in the high-frequency domain is excited by pulsed-laser ablation. The complex frequency spectrum obtained by Fourier transform of the measured response is then divided by the estimated pulsed-laser-ablation force. Finally, because of the error involved in the trigger position of the response with respect to the impulse arrival time, the phase of the complex Fourier transform is modified by accounting for the response dead time. The result is the frequency response function of the object. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a vibration test of an aluminium block. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    This paper proposes a method of self-sensing and model-free vibration control based on DVFB (Direct Velocity Feedback). In general. model-based control theor is applied to design control system. In this case. an accurate vibration model of the system is required to achieve an adequate vibration control performance. However, making an accurate model and designing a control system increase the workload of engineers, and installing sensors to detect structural vibration obstructs a cost reduction of control system. In this study, we consider a self-sensing vibration control strateg using a single degree-of-freedom voice coil actuator without the model of target structures. First, the self-sensing is achieved by detecting the voltage and current of the voice coil and estimating the relative velocity of the actuator. Second. the state variables containing the velocity at the point on the target stnmcture to which the actuator is connected are estimated by Kalman litter. Finally, an c\\tended DVFB control law is applied to the actuator. In this paper. effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by simulation with the controlled systems of a two degree-of-freedom and FE (Finite Element) models.

    Smart structures technology that uses materials such as piezoelectric elements, etc. is effective for controlling vibration in small devices. However, for micro devices, it is difficult to experimentally measure and evaluate the vibration control characteristics of the system because of the microscopic scale. Namely, it is not realistic to install an external exciter or to apply the excitation force using an impulse hammer. Therefore, in this study, the vibration property is measured and evaluated using non-contact technologies for excitation and measurement namely, laser ablation for the excitation and a laser Doppler vibrometer as the measurement device. Since both the input excitation and the output measurement are accomplished without contact and the excitation force is easily reproducible in the same system, this technique can be used repeatedly and the measurement can be improved.

Therefore input-detection-free frequency response function measurements can be realized. The method is validated by comparing frequency response functions obtained using laser excitation with FEM. Additionally, the frequency response function obtained in underwater conditions shows that the natural frequency decreases and the amplitude is attenuated by comparing with frequency response function in air conditions.

    The present paper proposes a multidisciplinary design optimization method for smart micro-composite structures to maximize vibration suppression performance, and an innovative experimental technique with laser excitation is applied to validate numerical results. The smart structures are composed of graphite/epoxy (CFRP) composites and PZT actuators. The performance of smart structures for vibration suppression strongly depends on vibration mode shapes and PZT actuator placements. It is possible to specify vibration mode shapes for the laminated composite by varying the stacking angles of reinforcing fibers, and both fiber orientation angles and PZT placements are optimized simultaneously by using a simple Genetic Algorithm (GA) method. Then, the calculated results are validated by an experiment using laser excitation which excites the micro-sized structures with high reproducibility since the laser is precisely irradiated to the structure at same position with same power repeatedly.

    Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a nondestructive method for measuring the hardness and softness of living tissue by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coupled with mechanical excitation of the subject. The shear modulus of a tissue is related to the velocity of transverse waves propagating through it, and local movements are obtained from MRI phase images. Micro MRI systems are available for high-resolution MRE measurements of soft materials. Longitudinal waves are effective for long-distance wave propagation from small excitation areas in micro MRI systems, and the transverse waves produced by the longitudinal waves can be used for elastography. This study proposes an excitation system comprising a high-power vibration generator and bar-shaped vibration transmitter made from an elastic material. The transmission characteristics of the glass-fiber-reinforced plastic bar-shaped transducer were evaluated by measuring the accelerations at its base and tip. The performance of the excitation system, which focused on the effects of frequency and amplitude, was investigated for measuring storage and loss modulus distributions in agarose gel. This system could transfer longitudinal waves with an amplitude of 0.5 mm and frequency between 50 and 250 Hz, without significant damping. Moreover, the excitation capabilities for gel phantoms were evaluated by MRE using 0.3T micro MRI equipment. A large amplitude of 0.5 mm and high frequency of 250 Hz produced less data scatter than smaller amplitudes and lower frequencies. MRE performance improved upon using strong excitations.

    The development of a clean and fuel efficient diesel engine control method is required for the purpose of global environmental protection. However, in the EGR control of turbo-charged engines, the system has nonlinear characteristics, and there is mutual interference between the EGR valve and the VNT guide vane. We propose a cooperative control method to deal with the nonlinearity of the diesel engine. In this paper, a method for model identification and ILQ (Inverse Linear Quadratic) design is introduced. As the result of using this method, which can be systemized from model identification to the mapping of the controller gain, high environmental performance and efficiency are achieved. © 2012 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    This paper proposes a method of acoustic vibration testing based on a point source generated by laser-induced breakdown in the air. A high-power Nd: YAG pulse laser is used in this system for generating the laser-induced breakdown in acoustic fields. Plasma formation can be realized by the laser-induced breakdown if the local intensity of the laser beam reaches 10 15 W/m 2. The shock wave that is yielded by consuming a part of the plasma energy becomes a sound source. Assuming that the laser beam is focused to a small volume through a convex lens and the sound source by the laser induced-breakdown has nondirectional property, it is possible to create a point source with this technique. Securing the laser light path installs no device for acoustic excitation in acoustic fields. The system is validated by comparing the resonant frequencies of a micro-space measured by the laser-induced breakdown and calculated by theoretical model. © 2012 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    This paper proposes an innovative vibration testing method based on impulse response excited by laser ablation. In conventional vibration testing using an impulse hammer, high-frequency elements of over tens of kilohertz are barely present in the excitation force. A pulsed high-power YAG laser is used in this study for producing an ideal impulse force on a structural surface. Illuminating a point on a metal with the well-focused YAG laser, laser ablation is caused by generation of plasma on the metal. As a result, an ideal impulse excitation force generated by laser ablation is applied to the point on the structure. Therefore, it is possible to measure high-frequency FRFs due to the laser excitation. A water droplet overlay on the metal is used to adjust the force magnitude of laser excitation. An aluminum block that has nine natural frequencies below 40 kHz is employed as a test piece. The validity of the proposed method is verified by comparing the FRFs of the block obtained by the laser excitation, impulse hammer, and finite element analysis. Furthermore, the relationship between accuracy of FRF measurements and sensitivity of sensors is investigated. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The structure and vibration control system of smart laminated composites consisting of graphite-epoxy composites and piezoelectric actuators are designed for optimum vibration suppression. The placement of piezoelectric actuators, the lay-up configurations of laminated composite plates, and the H(2) control system are employed as design variables and they are optimized simultaneously by a simple genetic algorithm. To reduce complexity, only pre-selected families of lay-up configurations are considered. An objective function is the H(2) performance with respect to the controlled response for vibration suppression. A multidisciplinary design optimization is performed with the above three design variables and then the output feedback system is reconstructed with a dynamic compensator based on a linear matrix inequality approach. The validity of the modeling and calculation technique is confirmed experimentally. Optimization results show that optimized smart composites with the present approach successfully realize vibration suppression and it is confirmed that the proposed multidisciplinary design optimization technique enhances the vibration suppression of smart composites.

    A vibration testing method for a micro-sized smart composite device using a noncontact excitation technology of the laser ablation is presented in this study. A smart structure consists of graphite/epoxy composites and piezoelectric actuators. There is a difficulty in exciting micro-devices experimentally by an impulse hammer or external exciter due to limitations on size and their high natural frequencies, resulting in an ineffective vibration evaluation. The laser ablation technology with pulse laser makes it possible to excite the structure without making a physical contact with devices and it generates a sharper impulse force than the physical contact. The experimental results showed that the present technique excites smart micro-composite accurately ranging to the high frequency region with high reproducibility and the smart micro-composite indicates specified performance of vibration control. This reveals that the laser ablation technique is suitable for the testing method of smart micro-composites.

    This paper proposes a method for simultaneous laser energy transmission and motion control of micro vehicles. Both the energy transmission and the remote control are achieved simultaneously with the same light path of two lasers. A green laser and a laser diode are used independently for the navigation and the energy transmission, respectively. Core technology of the system is the laser tracking, in which the direction of the tracking laser beam is changed by a galvano mirror so as to keep chasing the position of the corner-cube reflector mounted on the vehicle. In addition, by using a pulsing oscillation of the tracking laser, the vehicle is able to receive operation commands as a frequency change of the pulse. A beam of the laser diode runs parallel to the tracking beam and is radiated to the solar cells mounted on the vehicle. Then the photoelectrically converted power is supplied for the DC motors and control circuits on the vehicle. Experiments with a small wheeled-vehicle were conducted, and the results show that proposed system exhibits sufficient performance for controlling and supplying power to the micro vehicle.

    The authors have proposed an analyzing method for vibration testing based on impulse excitation by laser ablation in order to experimentally identify dynamic characteristics of micro devices such as HDD head actuators or MEMS that have in the high frequency region the natural frequencies of a few tens of kilohertz. This paper proposes a method that makes it possible to analyze FRF by only measuring the output (acceleration response) in a laser excitation experiment. This enables the measurement of the force input sensorless. First, the laser excitation force is normalized by Newton's second law using a rigid block. Next, the laser excitation experiment with an object structure having a natural frequency within the high frequency region is conducted. Complex Fourier spectrum obtained by Fourier transforming the measured response is divided by the estimated laser excitation force. Finally, since the trigger position of the response and the time the impulse input is actually applied have errors, phase characteristics of the force-regulated complex Fourier transform is modified by taking the dead time included in the response into account, resulting in the FRF of the structure. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the vibration test with an aluminum block as object structure.

    This paper proposes an innovative vibration testing method for membrane structures based on impulse response excited by laser. Non-contact impulse force is generated by irradiating a high power pulse laser to a structure. The laser excitation makes a precise measurement of the frequency response in wide frequency range possible because an ideal impulse force is applied to a point on the structure. Using a laser Doppler vibrometer to detect a response of the structure, both non-contact laser excitation and measurement are achieved in the vibration testing system. Furthermore, a vibration measurement of the membrane structure in vacuum environment is effectively conducted by using the proposed vibration testing method with a vacuum chamber. The validity of the present vibration testing system is verified by evaluating the measured data of the membrane structure in the vacuum chamber.

    Smart structures technology that uses piezoelectric element etc. is effective for the vibration control of small devices. However, for micro devices, it is difficult to experimentally measure and evaluate the vibration control characteristics of the system due to its microscopic scale. Namely, it is not realistic to install an external exciter or to apply the excitation force with an impulse hammer. Therefore, in this study, the vibration property is measured and evaluated by using the non-contact excitation/measurement technology using laser ablation for the excitation and laser Doppler vibrometer for the measurement. Since both input excitation and output measurement are made without contact of apparatus and the excitation force has a high reproducibility in the present system, the efficiency and the reliability of the measurement can be improved. © 2011 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    A remote motion control method for micro vehicles by two-way laser communication technology is proposed in this paper. The vehicle receives operation commands as pulse frequency modulations of a pulse laser radiated from the light source base. The laser is also used for laser tracking to chase the position of the corner-cube reflector equipped on the vehicle. At the same time, the vehicle sends its position information to the base with a MEMS (Micro-Electric-Mechanical-Systems) mirror equipped on the vehicle. The MEMS mirror transmits the information signal as light-path frequency modulations of the reflected laser beam. An advantage of this system is that the all these functions are achieved by a single laser source, resulting in the simplicity of the mechanism and the weight reduction of the micro vehicle. An experiment with a wheeled vehicle is carried out and the effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by achieving the motion control of the vehicle.

    The purpose of this study is to establish a measurement method to get vibration characteristics of membrane structures. An impulse hammer or a vibration exciter have been traditionally used to measure the vibration response of constructions and mechanical systems, but this method is not appropriate to apply the impulse force for the membrane structures due to its lightness and flexibility. Consequently, non-contact impulse excitation is applied by using laser excitation system and is absolutely suitable for the vibration measurement of the membrane structures. The proposed method makes the precise measurement of the frequency response in wide frequency range possible because an ideal impulse force is applied to a point on the structure. Moreover, a health monitoring system can be constructed by combining this vibration testing system and damage detection system. Damage of structures can be identified by detecting fluctuations of vibration responses with this health monitoring system.

The advantage of this system is that the all of these communication functions are achieved by a single laser beam; and the proposed method will contribute to simplify the mechanism and reduce the weight of micro vehicles. An experiment with a small wheeled-vehicle was conducted, and the results show that the concept exhibits a sufficiently accurate performance to control micro vehicles.

    This study is concerned with a vibration control strategy for a flexible-link system to achieve effective vibration suppression. It is required that the control system adapts to the dynamic characteristic variation of the system. A smart-link system composed of piezoelectric actuators and gain-scheduled controller is proposed to cope with change of the variable parameters which causes the dynamic characteristic variation of the system. An adaptive control is conducted by scheduling some LTI controllers to keep the stability and performance against the change of the variable parameters. The appropriate actuator location is determined by the target mode shapes. The scheduling gains for the LTI controllers designed at their operating points are optimized to obtain effective vibration suppression of the system.

    An active control system of oscillatory flame in a swirler combustor was investigated to control flame stability and to reduce the combustion noise. A modem H-2 control algorithm based on experimental modal analysis for system identification was applied to develop a closed-loop feedback control system. To examine the exothermic fluctuation, planar laser-induced fluorescence measurements were carried out. The OH radical distribution near the region of the flame holder was visualised. Two types of oscillatory flame were observed in this investigation: one was characterised by low-frequency mode; the other, with high-frequency mode, was produced with a remarkable frequency characterised by resonance of the combustor. As for the closed-loop feedback control system, a loudspeaker and microphone were used as an actuator and a sensor. It was found that the developed control system performed well with the result of 15-dB reduction.

    This paper proposes an approach on broadband robust controller design of multi-frequency-band parallel control system in order to achieve a significant vibration reduction in broadband frequency range. Mechanical systems usually have vibration and noise problems in various frequency ranges. A complex high-order modeling has to be conducted to control the vibration and noise in broadband frequency range. In this case, the modeling error is generally increased, resulting in a degradation of control performance. This study designs the multiple subcontrollers based on the multiple sub-models derived in the corresponding frequency ranges. The order of each sub-model becomes small and so the modeling accuracy is improved. The total controller is constructed as the parallel circuit with each sub-controller designed in each frequency range. Each sub-controller is designed to satisfy the closed-loop stability against the interference to other sub-controllers in this study. It is verified that the calculation efficiency and control performance can be enhanced by the proposed control strategy.

    Active control of combustion oscillations occurring in a methane-air lean premixed model combustor is accomplished by the method of secondary fuel injection. The main flame is sustained by an axial vane swirler. The central part of the swirler is endowed a function as the secondary fuel injector. The fuel jets from the injector enhance the flame stability by producing rich stable flames in the region of the flame base. Open-loop controls by secondary fuel injection with constant flow rates have been conducted on a naturally unstable condition. The results show sensitivity to the injection amount. It indicates that the flame base is very sensitive to the additional fuel distribution. A similar discussion is made on NOx emission also. Finally, a closed-loop control has been performed by implementing the mixed H-2/H-infinity controller.

    The purpose of this paper is to design a control system for an integrated laser propulsion/tracking system to achieve continuous motion and control of laser-driven micro-vehicles. Laser propulsion is significant in achieving miniature and light micro-vehicles. A laser-driven micro-airplane has been studied using a paper airplane and YAG laser, resulting in successful gliding of the airplane. High-performance laser tracking control is required to achieve continuous flight. This paper presents a control design strategy based on the generalized Kalman-Yakubovic-Popov lemma to achieve this requirement. Experiments have been carried out to evaluate the performance of the integrated laser propulsion/tracking system. © 2006 The Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences.

    The LPFM (Laser Pulse Frequency Modulation) laser control approach for laser-driven micro-vehicles is presented and die integrated laser propulsion/tracking/control system is developed in this study. The laser propulsion has been studied to achieve the lightened and miniaturized vehicles. The laser tracking using corner cube reflector that is widely used in free space communications is expected as a key technology to achieve continuous propulsion. The laser control is remotely conducted by sending the commands to the vehicle with laser. Since each laser pulse frequency is instantaneously transformed into the command with the laser beam and phototransistor, high speed positioning is achieved with the presented LPFM laser control system ne use of three different laser wavelengths and dielectric mirrors makes it possible to integrate die laser propulsion, tracking and control systems. First, the constitution and function of LPFM laser control to laser-driven micro-vehicles is shown and the integrated laser propulsion/tracking/control system is developed. Next, experiments with a miniature vehicle am carried out to confirm the performance of the developed system.

    In hard disk drives, vibration suppression is very important to boost the performance of information-processing equipment. It has been expected that technology of smart structure will contribute to the development of small and light-weight mechatronics devices with the required performance. The smart structure is composed of the piezoelectric film sensor and actuator in order to reduce the structural vibration. The placement of the piezoelectric actuator and H-2 control system are simultaneously optimized based on genetic algorithm to improve the effect on the vibration suppression. It has been verified by some applications with a plate structure and a magnetic disk drive that an enhanced performance for the vibration suppression can be achieved by the proposed optimal design method.

    A feedback combustion control system based on the active noise control (ANC) principle was investigated with an experimental lean premixed dump combustor. In the control system, secondary diffusion flames were used as the sound source to attenuate pressure fluctuation in the combustion system. Piezo-valves with fast response were used to modulate the flow rate of the fuel for the secondary flames and to generate controlled sound by heat release oscillation. We investigated two kinds of controllers, that is, a time delay type controller and a model-based type one. In the experiment of the former, the dominant resonant mode of the combustion noise was suppressed more than 10dB in maximum. Clear periodicity of the suppression effect according to delay time indicates that the suppression is due to the acoustic interaction between the main flame and the secondary flames. In the model-based controller, robust control algorithms (mixed H-2/H-infinity) were used. In addition, the gain-scheduled control was implemented to tune in to the shift of the dominant mode of the combustion noise, which resulted from variation of equivalence ratio. This control system effectively suppressed the dominant mode by more than 25dB without increase in other modes.

    Laser-supported propulsion of a micro-airplane with a water-covered ablator is demonstrated. The repetitive use of an overlay structure is experimentally demonstrated with a specially designed water supply. Various transparent overlays are investigated by the CIP-based hydrodynamic code and by experiments using a pendulum and using a semi-conductor load cell. A momentum-coupling efficiency of similar to10(4) N s/MJ is achieved by water-exotic-target experiments, in agreement with the simulation code, which predicts a maximum efficiency of similar to10(5) N s/MJ. The concept of laser-supported propulsion can also be used for driving a Mach 5 airplane in the stratosphere, a micro-ship inside the human body, and a robot in a nuclear power reactor accident, during which large numbers of neutrons make electronic devices useless.

The vibration response is suppressed by the modal control and the displacement control in which the modal coordinate displacement and the spatial displacement are taken as the controlled variable. The shapes of the multiple piezoelectric actuators and the H_2 control system are simultaneously optimized to achieve an enhanced vibration control performance. Efficient optimization algorithm based on a two-step procedure is employed in the simultaneous optimization.

    We propose a propulsion concept to drive a microairplane by laser that can be used for observation of climate and volcanic eruption. Since it does not have to develop thrust for vertical takeoff, and it has no engine in the normal sense, the microairplane can be very light, with its payload consisting only of observation and communication equipment. In order to demonstrate the concept, we succeeded in flying a paper microairplane driven by a 590 mJ, 5 ns pulse yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser that impinges on a double-layer "exotic target." The coupling efficiency agrees well with simulations and with experiments. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Dynamics of multi-link manipulators are highly nonlinear and depend on the time varying configuration. This paper presents a method of gain scheduling which consists in designing a linear time invariant (LTI) controller for each operating point and in switching controller when the operating conditions change. Each LTI controller is designed based on LMI approach in which an optimization problem is defined as a mixed H 2 /H ∞ control problem with pole placement. The performance of the force and the position controls is defined by the H 2 norm, and the robust stability according to gain scheduling is evaluated with the H ∞ norm and the pole placement of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness and the practicability of the proposed method are verified by both simulations and experiments with 2-link manipulator system.

    We proposed a method for optimizing the layout of junctions between two structures so as to minimize the relative displacement between them when one of them is oscillated by noise disturbances. Layout optimization yields the minimum number of junctions, which means fewer joint components or fewer spot-welding operations leading to higher production efficiency.

    An approach for feedback active noise control of a one dimensional duct with multiple control sources based on modal analysis is presented in this paper. Based on experimental modal analysis, the modal parameters of an acoustical system are derived from measured multiple frequency response functions. The state equation of the duct is described by the identified modal parameters. Considering eigenvectors of the acoustical system calculated by finite element method, control sources are located to the duct. A feedback active noise controller is designed based on mixed H 2 /H ∞ problem in addition to H ∞ problem, preventing the increase in dimensions of the controllers. Simulations are carried out using the designed controllers. Moreover experiments are carried out using identified controllers based on modal analysis to reduce dimensions of the controllers. The desired performances are obtained by the presented approach. © 1999, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

    The increasing attention on the applications of advanced robust control theories to automotive motivates the further investigation of truck cab model device for active vibration control. A balanced state-space model is necessary when designing a robust controller. Hence, the state-space frequency domain identification method is used to construct a model for model-based robust control design. Then H-infinity control theory and mu synthesis are readily to be used in order to calculate a controller for vibration suppression. The nu-tool is exploited to evaluate the quantitative margin for robust stability and performance. Finally, the closed-loop system achieved the satisfactory control results.

    Approach for modeling and feedback noise control of a one dimensional duct based on experimental modal analysis and LMI is presented in this paper. The modal parameters of a coupled acoustical structural system are derived from measured noise and vibration data. The state equation of the duct is described by the identified modal parameters. An active noise controller is designed based on LMI approach in which an optimization problem is defined as a mixed H2/H∞ control problem. The performances of the noise reduction and the robust stability are described with H2 and H∞ norms of the closed loop system, respectively. Frequency response shaping is performed by the presented approach with weighted modal matrix and frequency weighting functions.

This paper presents a method of gain scheduling which consists in designing an linear time invariant (LTI) controller for each operating point and in switching controller when the operating conditions change. Each LTI controller is designed based on LMI approach in which an optimization problem is defined as a mixed H 2 /H ∞ control problem with pole placement. The performances of the force and the position controls are defined by the H 2 norm, and the robust stability according to gain scheduling is evaluated with the H ∞ norm and the pole placement of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness and the practicability of the proposed method are verified by both simulations and experiments with 2-link manipulator system. © 1998, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    State-space solutions of the H infinity controller are well developed. Hence, for real structure control design, the first step is to derive a state-space model of the structure. There are several analytical and experimental dynamic modeling methods that can be used. It is difficult to obtain an accurate model for a flexible and complex structure by the finite-element method (FEM). Therefore experimental modeling is attempted. In this work, we used the eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) time-domain method based on system impulse response data, to establish a state-space model in order to design the H infinity control law for vibration suppression. The robust control implementation is exerted on a test bed (truck cab model) with three degrees of freedom. The validity of experimental state-space modeling is confirmed and the robust control performance is achieved.

    State-space solutions of H∞ controller have been well developed. Hence to a real structure control design, the first step is to get a state space model of the structure. There are analytical and experimental dynamic modeling methods. As we know, it is hard to obtain an accurate model for a flexible and complex structure by FEM(Finite Element Method). Then the experimental modeling methods are used. In this paper, we use frequency domain modal analysis technique based on system FRF(Frequency Response Function) data and ERA(Eigensystem Realization Algorithm) time domain method based on system impulse response data to establish state-space model in order to design H∞ control law for the purpose of vibration suppression. The robust control implementation is exerted on a testbed (truck cab model device) with three degrees of freedom.

    The finite-element method (FEM) and modal analysis have been used for vibration prediction in relatively low frequency domains, and statistical energy analysis (SEA) has been conducted in order to evaluate the vibration in extremely high-frequency domains. However, modeling and vibration analysis by FEM and modal analysis become more difficult as the frequency becomes higher, and some approximations and hypotheses that have not yet been proven to be accurate are used in SEA. Therefore, in high-frequency domains that exist between the two frequency domains in which FEM and SEA can be appropriately applied, no effective vibration analysis method has been proposed. In this paper, a vibration analysis method based on modal analysis and the statistical method which enables analysis of the high-frequency vibration is presented. Example results are shown for a single-plate structure and an L-shaped structure, and a comparison is made between the results from the asymptotic modal analysis and from the experiment.

    Approaches for optimum design of structure and servosystem to achieve high speed positioning and stability are developed in this paper. Both the structural optimization considering controllability and the integrated optimum design of structure and servosystem are discussed to realize the desired properties of the closed-loop system. This paper considers two types of the servosystem, namely one is composed of dynamic compensator for single input and single output system, and the other is composed of LQI control system. The desired frequency characteristics of the servosystem are achieved by the integrated optimization of structure and dynamic compensator. The integrated optimization of structure and LQI control system can improve the time history response of the closed-loop system. Furthermore, assuring the stability against the high order modes of the structure is satisfied by the integrated optimizations. Simulation and experimental results with a simplified positioning device show the effectiveness and the practicability of the proposed approaches.

    An approach for an integrated optimum design of a structure and an Hm control system is presented. The complex method and the genetic algorithm are adopted in the optimization process in the integrated design. The structural shape and the control system, including the locations of both sensors and actuators, are optimized simultaneously by the proposed approach. The improvement of frequency response shaping under the constraint of the structural mass can be realized by the integrated optimum design presented in this paper, The desired properties with respect to the control performance and the robustness are realized by the frequency shaping ability of H-infinity control. Effectiveness of the presented approach is verified by both simulation and experiment by the integrated design of a panel structure and H-infinity control system.

    An approach for integrated optimum design of a structure and H ∞ control system using a genetic algorithm is proposed. The size and shape of the structure, and the sites at which the sensors and the actuators are set are adopted as the design variables. Since the sensors and the actuators are placed only on the nodes of the finite-element model in this study, the design variables are discrete. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a genetic algorithm is used as the optimization technique. The approach is applied to vibration control of a planar plate. A frequency weighting function and mode weighting coefficient are used in the H ∞ control problem. The mode weighting coefficient enables control of multiple natural modes without increasing the order of the controller. Effectiveness and practicability of the approach are verified by both simulation and experiment. © 1995, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

    A structural topology optimization technique which optimizes the frequency response characteristics is proposed in this paper. The natural frequency and the linear quadratic performance index with respect to the response are defined as the objective function. The density of each finite element is adopted as the design variable and the optimum distribution of the density is sought based on the quasi-Newton method. Minimizig the performance index against the white and the colored noise disturbances, frequency response shaping is achieved. In order to realize the actual structure, a method to separate the value of the density to zero and one, in which the penalty function to divide the density into the two values is introduced in the objective function, is also proposed. © 1995, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    A new approach is presented for simultaneous structural and control optimum design of a system. The design variables of both the structural and the control parameters are optimized simultaneously by the sensitivity analysis to minimize the response due to disturbances of both white noise and colored noise subjected to a constraint so that the system is stable corresponding to high-order natural modes. Three kinds of models are adopted in this approach, namely, the original spatial model by finite element method, the reduced modal model for designing the control system, and the original modal model for assuring stability of the system. The validity and the usefulness of the present approach are verified by a vibration control experiment of a steel plate. © 1994 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., All rights reserved.

    A method for structural dynamic optimization is proposed using sensitivity analysis of resonance and anti-resonance frequencies. The sensitivity of the anti-resonance frequency is newly defined. An approach for eliminating the resonance peak from the frequency response function (FRF) is proposed using this sensitivity, modifying both the frequencies of this resonance and the neighboring anti-resonance bottom to the same value. The proposed method is applied to determine the optimum thickness of a plate in order to eliminate resonance peaks from its FRF. Effectiveness of this method is verified experimentally. Optimum design of an optical actuator for a compact disk player is performed practically by eliminating resonance peaks which deteriorates its servo control function. The player, with this optimized actuator, shows an excellent performance of sound playback.

    An approach is proposed for simultaneous optimum design of a structure and feedback control system by sensitivity analysis, for the following two purposes. One is to decrease both the response and the control force of the system under a white noise disturbance force. The other is to modify the gain, the pole and the zero-point to the desirable values. The weighting constant of the feedback control system, and the mass, stiffness, shape, dimensions, etc. of the structure, are adopted simultaneously as the design variables. The proposed method is verified by a model simulation. © 1993.

    The authors propose a method to design the optimum control system toward flexible structural systems. The mechanical structures used to be modelled by FEM. As a result, these models have large degrees of freedom. The small model can be obtained by identifying the spatial matrices of the structure from the frequency response functions calculated by FEM. The optimum control system is easily designed by applying the optimum control theory to the identified system. However, the stability of the control system is not always guaranteed because the machanical system is generally identified with small degree of freedom in which high order modes are ignored. An optimization method of the control system which guarantees the stability of the actual system of large degrees of freedom is proposed in this paper. The characteristics of both the identified and the actual systems are simultaneously optimized by the proposed method based on sensitivity analysis and nonlinear programming. An application to a FEM model and experimental result verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    In this paper, we consider a robust vibration control of a continuous body structure, such as plate structure. Modeling of a complex structure composed by a continuous body is difficult. FEM is usually used for direct modeling of an actual structure. However, FEM model has originally structural errors and FEM model has so large degree-of-freedom (DOF) that a vibration control system can hardly be designed. This model is reduced to modal coordinate in order to decrease DOF of FEM model. However, the control system becomes unstable frequently because of structural errors and ignored high order modes. We show a design method of a robust vibration control system based on H^∞ control theory. The robustness against structural errors and ignored high order modes can be realized by H^∞ control. Both the control performance and the robustness of the closed loop system can be improved by applying adequate weighting functions of H^∞ control. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the results of both analysis and experiment.

    The authors propose a method by which to design an optimum vibration control system composed of continuous body structures using modal analysis and sensitivity analysis. The mechanical structures are modeled first by FEM. This spatial model is of such a high degree-of-freedom (DOF) that a control system cannot be designed. This spatial model is transformed into a modal model in order to reduce DOF. The optimum control system is designed by applying the optimum control theory to this reduced model. However, stability of the control system is not always guaranteed because the modal model ignores high-order modes. An optimization method of the control system which guarantees stability of the actual system is proposed in this paper. We propose also an experimental optimization of the control system based on experimental modal analysis. The optimization is performed using sensitivity analysis and nonlinear programming.

    A polyhedron shell such as a box-type structure is used to cover a noise source and muffle emission noise. However, this structurre vibrates easily and cannot muffle noise completely, since it has low damping qualities. This paper shows that a number of resonance peaks occurring in a polyhedron shell can be suppressed by using a design method of dynamic absorbers to control the vibration of multi-degree-of-freedom systems, and this method will possibly be used to control this type of noise in the future. Four dual dynamic absorbers designed by the experimental method could control the vibration of the structure well. The effectiveness and generality of this method is confirmed by the modal analysis using the finite element method. © 1990, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

    In the typical structural optimization method, the structural eigenvalues or eigenvectors are modified in order to avoid various problems caused by the resonances. In this case, the optimization is done on frequency domain. However, in some cases the time history response is more important than the characteristics on frequency domain. In this paper, the optimizations of both natural mode and impuls reponse are performed by modifiying the thicknesses and the nodal coordinates of the structure with the FEM model. Firstly, the theory of the optimization method is explained. Secondly, we apply this method to the optimization of an rectangular plate. The optimization of a natural mode and a impuls response are achieved. Finally, we combine this method with the component mode synthesis method in order to enable us to optimize the large structural systems. © 1990, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    The design method of an optical servosystem and its practicability were discussed in the first and second reports. In this paper, the authors develop a practical optical pick-up. Firstly, we propose a new type of optical pick-up which is a simple monobloc hinge-type structure and investigate its structural characteristics. As a result, it is confirmed that the structural characteristics of the optical pick-up influence the stability of the servosystem ; accordingly, a structural optimization is necessary to obtain a high degree of controllability. Secondly, the optical pick-up is optimized by using the Pole-Zero Cancellation Method and the servosystem is comprised of the optimal pick-up with the phase-lead compensator. The results of both analytical and experimental investigations verify that the servo characteristics are improved and sufficient characterisitics are satisfied such that the servo specifications are realized. © 1989, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    This paper proposes a new design concept that takes into consideration the construction of a mechanism that consists of a structural system and a control system. In order to obtain a fine mechanism with high performance, it is necessary to prepare the structural system with higher controllability in the design stage. The essence of the concept is to make practical lse of the nodes at the vibration modes of the structural system for the purpose of suitably arranging the controller and the sensor within it. Firstly, uncontrollability and unobservability, which correspond to the pole-zero cancellation, is realized on the vibration node. Next, it is shown that the controller located on the vibration node cancels any undesirable resonance peak of the structural system required for achieving higher controllability. The effectiveness of the design concept is demonstrated by the design of the optical servosystem. © 1989, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

    The optical servosystem requires a high degree of controllability. However, it is very difficult to realize a servosystem with higher controllability since the dynamic characteristics of an optical pick-up influence the stability of the servosystem. Therefore, both a control system and a structural system must be considered simultaneously in the design stage of the optical servosystem. The purpose of this paper is to determine the structural system in order to obtain higher controllability. Firstly, the authors investigate the structural characteristics of an optical pick-up model and explain the necessity of structural optimization to improve servo characteristics. Secondly, the structure of the optical pick-up model is optimized by using the Pole-Zero Cancellation Method proposed by the authors. The servosystem is comprised of the optical pick-up model with the phase-lead compensator. Finally, the characteristics of the servosystem are investigated and the improvements are confirmed. The practicability of this design method is verified by the experiments. © 1989, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

    In this report, the authors propose a new method for structural dynamic modification. The resonance sensitivity and anti-resonance sensitivity of a structure are used in the proposed method. Both sensitivities can be calculated much more easily than the sensitivity for the natural modes because of the simplicity of the calculational procedure. Therefore, this method has a high degree of efficiency. The target peaks of resonance are removed by making the vibration node coincide with an exciting point. As a result, cancel of the resonance peaks is achieved. In this paper, the theory of the proposed method is explained at first. Secondly, the effectiveness of this method is concretely shown with two applications: a 6-degrees-of-freedom system and a rectangular plate. In the latter application, an experiment is also performed in order to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the method. © 1988, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

    In this study, we showed a specification of origami robot with two arms which can fold stiff material. At ASME 2016 Student Mechanism & Robotics Design Competition, one of his students received the Third Place Award by achieving to fold a paper bag by his Lego-based robot. To make origami by origami robot, we needed to solve two problems: to obtain a general rule on robot friendly structures and to get robust control logic. We have overcome the problems and realized the origami robot. It been said that making origami such as current trend biomimetic origami or one-generation-ago origami like “crane” by robot was a big challenge. We developed the way to acquire robot friendly structures by arranging 2D plans and adding appropriate cuts on the plans, then glue on their margins. With this method, the Lego-based origami robot has achieved to make origami.

    This study aims to realize a non-contact damage detection system for large objects such as an aircraft. Irradiating the target surface with a high-power Nd: YAG pulse laser induces LA and generates Lamb waves. Spectrum analyses on the Lamb waves generated by LA reveal that the Lamb waves contain a broad range of frequency components up to several hundred kHz. The LA-generated Lamb waves have amplitudes several hundred times larger than those generated by conventional laser ultrasonic Lamb waves, improving the SN ratio. The improved SN ratio reduces the required number of measurements, resulting in a shorter measurement time. Thus, the proposed method can be applied to detect damage on a large area of a large structure. The LA-generated Lamb waves were applied to detect a through crack, which was artificially made to simulate damage. Damage causes the reflection and amplitude of the Lamb wave to change, demonstrating the effectiveness of LA-generated Lamb waves to detect damage.

    This paper proposes a method of acoustic vibration testing based on a point source generated by laser-induced breakdown in the air. A high-power Nd: YAG pulse laser is used in this system for generating the laser-induced breakdown in acoustic fields. Plasma formation can be realized by the laser-induced breakdown if the local intensity of the laser beam reaches 1e+15 W/m2. The shock wave that is yielded by consuming a part of the plasma energy becomes a sound source. Assuming that the laser beam is focused to a small volume through a convex lens and the sound source by the laser induced-breakdown has nondirectional property, it is possible to create a point source with this technique. Securing the laser light path installs no device for acoustic excitation in acoustic fields. The system is validated by comparing the resonant frequencies of a micro-space measured by the laser-induced breakdown and calculated by theoretical model.

    The present study generated a new function of carbon fiber reinforced laminated materials, known as advanced composite materials with high specific stiffness and strength. New structures of composite materials with curvilinear reinforcement fibers and variable-thicknesses were proposed in this study, and this structure realized local anisotropy in different positions of structures. Optimum placements of local anisotropy induced by optimum curvilinear fiber shape and distributed thickness resulted in controlling shapes of vibration mode arbitrary. The technique was applied to design optimum smart composite structures to enhance the performances of vibration suppression. From above, it is concluded that the present technique enables effective usage or suppression of vibration by considering the shape of vibration mode.

    This study presents the development of the integrated laser tracking/control/energy transmission system. First, the LPFM laser control approach for laser-driven micro-vehicles is proposed and the integrated laser tracking/control system is developed. The laser control system is a key technology to achieve remote control of laser-driven micro-vehicles. With the LPFM laser control, both long-distance remote control and high-speed positioning are achieved since laser performs long-distance transmission and the output is rapidly variable. In addition, communication using laser beam can make a resolution to prevent interference and tapping unlike radio communication. In order to integrate each system on the laser tracking and control, both laser tracking/control systems and dielectric mirrors are synthesized in the total system. Next, the constitution and function of LPFM laser control of laser-driven micro-vehicle is shown and a fundamental experiment of LPFM laser control is conducted. Furthermore, experiments with a miniature vehicle are carried out to confirm the performance of the developed system. Finally, the integrated laser tracking/control/energy transmission system is developed by synthesizing the integrated laser tracking/control system and a laser energy transmission system. The purpose of the energy transmission system is to transmit energy to the micro-vehicle with high-power laser and to drive it. Solar cell is used as the photoelectric conversion element. The optical system is constructed by some dielectric mirrors to integrate two systems without interference. The fundamental system is developed and its performance is evaluated throughout the experiment.

    A multidisciplinary design optimization method of Structure/Fluid/Control has been proposed to achieve the required performance of advanced mechanical system. An approach for optimization technology of the placement of the piezoelectric actuators and the control system in smart structures has been developed to improve the vibration control performance. The modeling approach based on FEA and modal analysis is appropriate to obtain the reduced-order system which is used for designing the control system. The optimal placement of the piezoelectric actuators and control system have been simultaneously designed by the presented two-step procedure with GA. The proposed method is applied to designing some mechanical systems to evaluate the effectiveness of the method. It has been verified from this study that the complexity of the optimization algorithm and the calculation efficiency are significantly improved and the enhanced control performance can be achieved by the proposed multidisciplinary design optimization method. Next, the laser tacking system and the integrated laser propulsion/tracking system have been designed and developed as elemental and key technologies for realizing an actual flight and control of the laser-driven micro-airplane. First, the characteristics and the performance of the developed laser tracking system composed of the He-Ne laser, condenser, beamsplitter, PSD and galvano-mirror have been evaluated by the experiment.

    The purpose of this research is to develop a new evolutionary structural optimization design methods under kinematics and control system and, in addition, to investigate the structural advanced feature of dragonflies from the viewpoint of structural dynamics. New evolutionary structural optimization methods for static and dynamics have been developed. Then, their advantages and practical usefulness have been investigated using some kinds of basic application studies. This research has published some valuable technical papers and reports and has eventually obtained a ph.D degree to a graduate student of ph.D course who contributed to this research project The dependency problem of initial structures was deeply investigated and was made weak to optimum solutions. This investigation invented the new evolutionary structural optimization. Therefore, the method steadily creates very good results. A cantilever model, a bridge model and a connecting rod in engine etc. were optimally designed by the methods and their good results were obtained. In addition, a health monitoring system is developed as a kind of artificial nerve system for mechanical structural systems. Because the structures to be designed by such evolutionary optimization methods should be implemented such self-monitoring systems. Very precise investigation of dragonfly wings was carried out from the viewpoint of str-uctural dynamics. Vibration testing gave the fundamental natural frequencies and natural modes of the wings. Vein network pattern was accurately measured using a digital microscope and a finite element model of a dragonfly wing was created. The finite element model is available for various computer simulation studies. Finally, the result of this research will be able to create the possibility and usefulness of future development on this sort of research works to the investigators and others

    This study presents approaches for optimum design of structure and servosystem to realize higher performances concerning the positioning and the stability. The proposed approaches use the sensitivity analysis and the nonlinear programming method, in which the integrated optimum design of structure and servosystem is taken into consideration. The performance specifications of the control system are generally expressed as the cahracteristics on frequency and time domains Therefore, this study considers two types of the servosystem, namely one is composed of dynamic compensator such as phase-lead and phase-lag compensators in order to deal with the desired frequency characteristics, and the other is composed of LQI control system in which the controller is desighed to achieve the desired transient responses. The original spatial model of a structure with large degrees of freedom (DOF) is made by the finite element method (FEM). The perfomances and the stability of the servosystem depend on the structural characteristics such as the gain and the phase properties of frequency response function (FRF) between the control input and the output signals. Higher performances of the servo properties and stability of the closed-loop system against the high order natural modes are achieved by the integrated optimization presented in this study. Two modal models are made from the original spatial model, namely one is the reduced modal odel of small DOF and the other is the original modal model of medium DOF.The properties of the servosystem composed of the reduced modal model are optimized under the constranit that the closed-loop system composed of the original modal model must be stable. Effectiveness and practicability of the approaches are verified with a simplified model structure of a positioning device.

    振動制御系と位置決め制御機構の高性能化を達成するために、構造系と制御系の統合設計法の提案および開発を行った。本方法は、遺伝的アルゴリズムと感度解析法を用いた非線形計画法に基づいており、制御性を考慮した構造最適化および構造系と制御系の統合最適化の両方を実行可能である。構造系と振動制御系の統合最適化では、制御系としてH^∞制御系を採用し、遺伝的アルゴリズムを用いて構造物形状と制御則、さらにセンサーおよびアクチュエーターの配置最適化を行うことにより、高性能な周波数整形を可能にした。構造系とサーボ系の統合最適化では、周波数領域と時間領域の性能に対応するために2種類のサーボ系を導入した。すなわち、1入出力系に対して用いられる動的補償器と、多入力系に対して設計されるLQI制御系である。サーボ性を考慮した構造最適化では、制御対象の固有振動数と固有モードをサーボに適した周波数応答が実現されるように最適化する方法を開発した。構造系と動的補償器の統合最適化では、着目する全てのモードの安定性を維持しながら、サーボ性能を左右する主要な極の配置を最適化し、閉ループ系に要求される周波数特性を達成することを可能にした。構造系とLQI制御系の統合最適化では、閉ループ系の安定性を維持しながら、目標入力に対する時間領域での高速追従性能を実現した。本研究で提案・開発した方法を簡易構造の位置決めデバイスの統合設計に適用し、その有効性と実用性を検証している。

    This study proposes new optimum design methods of structure and control system. Forst, a structural topology optimization method based on the genetic argorithm is presented. The fitness function composed of a natural frequency is maximized by optimizing the topology of the structure. The optimum topology of the structure is determined by optimizing the placement of the finite elements in FEM analysis. In the optimum design based on the genetic argorithm, the computer burden should be decreased for practical use. This study improves the genetic operations with respect to the crossover and the mutation in order to improve the efficiency of the calculation. Furthermore, the higher efficiency of the calculation is achieved by the model reduction in structural analysis. Effectiveness and practicability of the proposed approach are verified by optimizing the topology of the guide-arm installed in the magnetic disk device. Next, this study proposes a sumultaneous optimum design method of structure and control system by which to design an optimum servosystem composed of continuous body structures using modal analysis and sensitivity analysis. The mechanical structures is modeled first by FEM.This spatial model are of such high degree of freedom that a control system cannot be designed. This spatial model is transformed into a modal model in order to reduce DOF.The servosystem is composed with the reduced model and a dynamic compensator. However, stability of the control system is not always guaranteed because the modal model ignores high-order modes. An simultaneous optimization method of the structure and the control system which guarantees stability of the actual system is proposed in this study. The optimization is performed using sensitivity analysis and nonlinear programming. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by both simulation and experiment.

    This study proposes a new design concept that takes into consideration the construction of a mechanism that consists of a structural system and a control system. Firstly, a method for structural dynamic optimization is proposed using sensitivity analysis of resonance and anti-resonance frequencies. The sensitivity of the anti-resonance frequency is newly defined. An approach for eliminating the resonance peak from the frequency response function (FRF) is proposed using this sensitivity, modifying both the frequencies of this resonance and the neighboring anti-resonance bottom to the same value. Optimum design of an optical actuator for a compact disk player is performed practically by eliminating resonance peaks which deteriorates its servo control function. The player, with this optimized actuator, shows an excellent performance of sound playback. Next, an approach is presented for simultaneous optimum design of structure and control system. The design variables of both structure and control parameters are optimized simultaneously by the sensitivity analysis in order to minimize the response dur to disturbances of both white noise and colored noise under the constraining condition that the system is stable against high order natural modes. Three kinds of model are adopted in this approach, namely the original spatial model by FEM, the reduced modal model for designing control system and the original modal model for assuring stability of the system. Validity and usefulness of the presented approach are verified by an experiment of vibration control with a steel plate.
