Abstract
Self-powered active vibration control, which realizes active vibration control using regenerated vibration energy and does not require external energy, has been proposed and applied to the anti-rolling system for ships. The authors propose the system that produces spring force by an actuator. This system does not require mechanical spring element and this reduces manufacturing costs. Through numerical simulations, the feasibility and the performance of the proposed system are examined. The results indicates that the proposed system is achieved and its performance is similar to that of the previous system.
