TLDR
In this article, the optimal compensating force is determined by measuring the initial vibration and using that measurement in one of three algorithms to determine an adjustment to be made to the compensating forces applied to the system at the time of measurement.Abstract:
Vibration of a system such as a motor and pump on a platform or a transformer is minimized by applying a compensating force to the system. The optimum compensating force is determined by measuring the initial vibration and using that measurement in one of three algorithms to determine an adjustment to be made to the compensating force applied to the system at the time the initial vibration was measured. The adjusted compensating force is applied to the system which changes the vibration. That vibration is measured and applied to the selected algorithm to determine a second adjustment to the compensating force. The process is repeated until a compensating force is found which produces zero vibration, minimum vibration or a desired vibration. A plurality of sensors for measuring vibration and a plurality of actuators for applying a compensating force are preferably used.read more
