Abstract

Active control of dynamical behavior of rotor systems involves the following: modeling of the rotor system including active elements as a control process, positioning of actuators and sensors, implementation of problem-adapted control concepts. The key to attaining the desired influence on the dynamic behavior of rotor systems lies in the presence of suitable actuators. Some types of actuators (magnetic, electrohydraulic and piezoelectric) will be discussed and their respective drawbacks indicated. Their design will be outlined and functional correlations will be presented. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that an improvement of the system dynamics by the use of control forces is always possible.
