Active Structural Control using Non-linear Oscillators

(A study of Network Structure for Vibration Pattern Generation)

Abstract

Recently, we have proposed an active vibration control system by using synchronization properties of non-linear oscillators. In this system, a single oscillator has the role as amplifier that emphasizes the vibration response of target structures. However, to generate various vibration patterns for the structures’ multiple vibration mode, using networks consisting of a number of oscillators is effective. Therefore, in this paper discusses a network structure generating multiple vibration patterns.
