Experimental Identification and Vibration Control of A Piezoelectric Flexible Manipulator Using Optimal Multi-Poles Placement Control

摘要

This paper presents experimental identification and vibration suppression of a flexible manipulator with piezoelectric actuators and strain sensors using optimal multi-poles placement control. To precisely identify the system model, a reduced order transfer function with relocated zeros is proposed, and a first-order inertia element is added to the model. Comparisons show the identified model match closely with the experimental results both in the time and frequency domains, and a fit of 97.2% is achieved. Based on the identified model, a full-state multi-poles placement controller is designed, and the optimal locations of the closed loop poles are determined where the move distance of the closed loop poles is the shortest. The feasibility of the proposed controller is validated by simulations. Moreover, the controller is tested for different locations of the closed loop poles, and an excellent performance of the optimal locations of the closed loop poles is shown. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by experiments. Results show that the vibrations of the expected modes are significantly diminished. Accordingly, multi-mode vibrations of the manipulator are well attenuated.
