Passive and Active Structural Vibration Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dynamics of Smart Systems and Structures

Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to provide some basic concepts of structural vibration, such as natural frequencies, vibration modes, damping factor, frequency response, among others, and, then, extend these concepts to the design of passive and active vibration control solutions. Well-known passive vibration control solutions such as vibration dampers and absorbers are discussed. Some fundamental aspects related to control theory such as feedforward and feedback strategies and simple control laws well adapted for structural control are also presented and the important effect of sensors and actuators positioning is discussed.
