Forschungsförderungsprojekt
Control engineering is an R&D discipline that focuses on mathematical modeling of systems of a diverse nature, ranging from mechanical or electrical devices to biological, medical or social systems and networks, on analysis of their dynamical behavior, and aims at their control. The goal is in principle to design a controller that will make the systems behave in a desired manner. Active suppression of natural oscillations and vibrations in mechanical structures (e.g. transport vehicles) is one special instant in this framework. Active structural damping brings obvious high economical benefits. An embedded control system with low-cost components is typically much easier to develop and far less costly than a complete re-design of a mechanical structure itself, e.g. with higher stiffness or more expensive materials. The project is aimed at development and testing of effective algorithms and tools for design of active damping control systems. As a motivation and a test-bed for these tools, two prospective applications have been identified (Active damping of a heavy metro car body; ACFA2020)
