Abstract
A vibration control method by using an active hybrid mount featuring piezostack actuators was indicated in this paper. The hybrid mount is composed of piezostack as an active actuator and rubber as a passive element. The hybrid mount was designed and manufactured after experimentally identifying actuating force characteristics of the piezostack and dynamic characteristics of the rubber. Then , a vibration control system with a specific mass loading is constructed, and its governing equations of motion are derived. A feedforward controller is formulated and experimentally realized, in order to actively attenuate vibration transmitted from the base. Finally, vibration control responses are evaluated.
