Shock Isolation with Anticipating Control for External Disturbances of Various Shapes

详细

Limiting performance analysis is performed for isolation of an object on a movable base from short-duration impact excitations by means of an active shock isolator with anticipating control. The external disturbance (excitation) is modeled by the time history of the absolute acceleration of the base. The control is performed by a force that acts between the base and the object to be protected. The absolute value of the control force is subject to a constraint. A procedure is proposed for constructing optimal anticipating controls that minimize the peak magnitude of the displacement of the object relative to the base for external disturbances from a certain class. For a number of types of external disturbances, the solution of the optimal control problem is obtained in closed form. The controls that are constructed in closed form are modified to be applicable for the disturbances for which closedform solutions are absent.
