Investigation of multi-input multi-output sine on random mixed vibration control

Abstract

This article investigates Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) mixed vibration control testing for Sinusoid on Random (SoR). The challenge of this vibration test is the mixed signal separation. The response signals at the control channels are composed of the broadband random component and the sinusoidal components. Firstly, the extracted accuracy of the Improved Correlation Integral Method (ICIM) is analyzed. The influences of the parameters used in ICIM are discussed in detail. Secondly, a new method, named Variance Minimum Method (VMM), is proposed for signal separation. Extraction accuracies of the ICIM and the proposed VMM are compared under different parameters. Finally, the control methods are proposed to iteratively update the driving signals of each component in the light of the deviations between the response signals and specified references. A cantilever beam example and biaxial vibration experiment manifest that the VMM and control method can be applied for the multi-shaker SoR vibration control tests.
