Vibration Control of a Smart Cantilever Beam Using dSPACE

Vibration of a smart beam is being controlled. This smart beam setup is comprised of actuators and sensors placed at the root of a cantilever beam. Numerous factors, including human action and nearby motorized equipment, can result in vibrations. In this instance, the actuator signal is used to create the disturbance. The piezoelectric sensors are used to detect the vibration. The PID(s) controller simultaneously transmits a control signal through dSPACE to the actuator through which the vibration can be reduced. Using Ziegler-Nichols, a PID controller is designed for flexible beam structure vibration suppression in order to maximize outcomes. The model of the system which includes the dynamics of the structure together with the sensor/actuator dynamics is obtained through on line system identification technique. The performance of the PID(s) controller is evaluated experimentally using dSPACE controller board
