Abstract

© The Author(s) 2017. Proportional-derivative (PD) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are popular control algorithms in industrial applications, especially in structural vibration control. In this paper, the designs of two dampers, namely the horizontal actuator and torsional actuator, are combined for the lateral and torsional vibrations of the structure. The standard PD and PID controllers are utilized for active vibration control. The sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of these controllers are validated by utilizing the Lyapunov stability theorem. An active vibration control system with two floors equipped with a horizontal actuator and a torsional actuator is installed to carry out the experimental analysis. The experimental results show that bidirectional active control has been achieved.
