A methodology for the design of feedback active vibration control systems

This paper presents an integrated methodology for feedback control of active vibration attenuation systems. The basic steps of the methodology are: open loop identification of the secondary path, design of a robust digital controller, identification in closed loop of a ”control oriented” model, redesign of the controller based on the closed loop identified model and controller reduction. The feasability of this methodology is illustrated by its application on the Hutchinson active suspension.
