Simulation of active vibration control of the cantilever beam

The paper deals with active vibration control of cantilevered beams. The motion of the cantilever beam as a continuum is described by a lumped parameter model for which the transfer function relating the beam displacement to the acting force is to be calculated. The paper analyzes the effect of feedback on vibration of the individual points of the beam, including its free end. Methods for analyzing are based on the transfer function calculation and simulation the time response to an acting force. Movement and position of the cantilever beam will be described either by deflection or velocity or acceleration. The feedback is designed using a pole placement method.
