Symmetrical Control Law for Chaotization of Platform Vibrations

Abstract

The paper proposes an experimentally validated method of chaotization of the platform movement process based on the principle of feedback control using a symmetrical (bidirectional) controller. The significance is shown and the prospect of chaotization of platform oscillations for vibration technologies, in particular, mixing of bulk materials, is disclosed. The proposed algorithm was comprehensively experimentally studied with a laboratory vibratory setup, and the results of experiments demonstrating its efficacy are presented.
