Abstract: Active noise and vibration control (ANVC) systems and methods are provided. The systems and methods include providing sensors configured to detect vibration of a structure and a controller in electrical communication with the sensors. The controller includes a hardware processor and a memory element configured to process the vibration detected by the sensors, generate a force control command signal, and output the force control command signal via an interface. The systems and methods include provisions for at least one circular force generator (CFG) in electrical communication with the controller, the CFG is configured to execute the force control command signal output from the controller and produce a force that substantially cancels the vibration force. In some aspects, one or more CFGs control different vibration frequencies causing unwanted vibrations or acoustical tones. In some aspects, one or more CFG's control unwanted vibrations during some conditions and noise during other conditions.

Abstract: A method and system/apparatus implementing a non-model based Decentralized Feedforward Adaptive Algorithm (DFAA) for active vibration control of an actively-driven element, such as an Active Vibration Absorber (AVA) (24). The AVA (24) preferably includes an inertial tuning mass (42) and a voice coil assembly (46) and is contained in an active vibration control system (20) wherein the method and system/apparatus reduce vibration of a vibrating member (22) at an attachment point (26) by receiving an error signal from an error sensor (28) such as an accelerometer and a reference signal from a tachometer (32) or accelerometer (34), where the reference signal is correlated to, or indicative of the frequency content of, a primary vibration source (36) and calculating an updated output signal via an electronic controller (39) using the non-model based DFAA to dynamically drive the actively-driven element, such as AVA (24). The method and system/apparatus using DFAA is effective for reduction of both tonal and broadband vibration. The method approaches the performance of Filtered-x LMS control, yet is decentralized and does not require information regarding the plant.
