Abstract
This paper deals with the active vibration control of parallel solar panel-like structures supported by a rigid-body rotor like a space station. Two flexible plates are connected with each other by the electromagnetic actuators through the flexible arms. As a vibration control mechanism, the method using the interactive force between structures is used for controlling vibration of these plate structures. Then, these structures are expressed by the lumped parameter 3-DOF model using the reduced-order modeling method. To prevent so-called spillover, a second order low-pass filter is inserted in the control system. The pole assignment method is used to obtain feedback gain. Computer simulations and control experiments showed the effectiveness of presented control method.
