Force-feedback Control in Viv Experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A force-feedback control system for VIV experiments is designed and evaluated for the purpose of achieving high accuracy free vibration tests. Through an organized approach, this work details specific methods for minimizing the combined effect of mass and damping using control system fundamentals. The dynamics of the closed-loop system are analyzed, a numerical model constructed and a control scheme is chosen and implemented in real-time. The control system performance is evaluated by performing frequency response tests in air. Free vibrations of a smooth aluminum cylinder are performed at Reynolds number 19000. Test series with damping ratios of one, two and five percent are performed, all with nondimensional mass four. A peak amplitude ratio of 1.15 is observed for the case of lowest damping. Forced vibration tests with the same setup are performed and compared to the free vibration results, giving consistent results.

Galloping and VIV control of square-section cylinder utilizing direct opposing smart control force
An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) is adopted to reduce the 2D flow-induced vibration of an elastically supported square-section cylinder, free to oscillate in stream-wise andtransverse directions in both lock-in and galloping regions. The AFSMC strategy consists of a fuzzy logic inference system intended to follow a sliding-mode controller (SMC), and a robust control syste...

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a long riser in sheared current is often considered as an energy balance problem: Excitation forces in the power-in region add an equal amount of energy to the system as is dissipated by damping forces outside this region and structural damping. A riser may have different excitation and damping regions depending on the actual oscillation frequency, cross-sectio...
