Vibration control of a compressor blade using position and velocity feedback

Abstract

Position and velocity feedback controllers are applied in this work to reduce the oscillations of a rotating blade dynamical system running at an unsteady rotating speed. Both the primary resonance and the principal parametric resonance are controlled as they are the worst cases that were verified numerically. The two modes of vibrations are found to be powerfully linearly coupled, so we have applied the controller to only one mode and the other, coupled mode follows it. The overall nonlinear behaviour of the system with and without control is investigated through the multiple time scales method. Time history and different response curves of the controlled system are included to show the controller effect.
