MODEL BASED PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF BEAM WITH MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID

In the work a model predictive control method was applied to control the beam vibrations. Model predictive control (MPC) is widely used as advanced control methodology. The considered beam consists of two outer layers made of aluminium and MR fluid layer in between. Activation of the MR fluid is realized by magnetic field. The analysis of strain and stress in three-layered beam were done. Then the equation of forced vibration of beam in the vicinity of the first resonances was derived. Based on this equation the simulation of MPC application was performed for the sinusoidal and random excitation
