    摘要: A method for controlling end stop collisions in electro-mechanical systems including dampers or actuators. In a first aspect, a velocity-squared control method determines an end stop control signal (V.sub.end stop) based, at least in part, upon a square of the relative velocity (V.sub.inst). Preferably, the displacement (.delta..sub.end) to the end stop is also used to derive the end stop control signal (V.sub.end stop). In another aspect, a snubber control method is employed which produces a snubber control signal (V.sub.snub) based, at least in part, upon a continuous function of a snubber incursion distance (.delta..sub.z) within a snubber zone (Z). Preferably, the velocity-squared end stop and the snubber control methods operate together. When used in conjunction with an end stop control method, the snubber control method prevents end stop collisions for cases where the end stop control algorithm alone would not. Either of the end stop methods (the velocity-squared end stop control method or the snubber control method) may be used alone, in combination with each other, or in combination with a primary control method.

The ASC system (10) includes a plurality of error sensors (42) for providing error signals, and at least one reference sensor (49 or 50) for providing reference signals indicative of the N1 and/or N2 engine rotations and/or vibrations, and a preferably digital electronic controller (46) for processing the error and reference signal information to provide output signals to drive the plurality of AVAs (40) attached to the yoke (32). The AVAs (40) preferably act in a radial, tangential, or fore and aft directions and may be preferably located at the terminal end and/or at the base portion of the yoke (32). Further, the AVAs (40) may be Single Degree Of Freedom (SDOF) or Multiple Degree Of Freedom (MDOF) and may be tuned to have a passive resonance which substantially coincides with the N1 and/or N2 engine rotation and/or vibrations. In another aspect, reference signal processing is described which includes a modulo counter, a lookup table, and a digital IO.

    摘要: An active system for controlling vibration or sound. The system includes a method for limiting the output gain G from a gradient descent algorithm, such as an LMS algorithm, according to the relationship ##EQU1## and reducing one of first and second filter weights W.sub.1 and W.sub.0 such that G.ltoreq.G.sub.max ensuring the output canceling signal is never saturated. This eliminates the square wave shape which may impart unwanted harmonics or resonances to the dynamic system. In another aspect, the system eliminates drift of the output devices toward saturation when situations are encountered such as singularities in the quadratic performance surface. This is accomplished by applying leakage factor r(k) to a function f(k) at or near a predetermined limit to avoid saturation of the output device. The function f(k) can be the gain G or the weights W(k). Another aspect is to provide a constant, optimum, and stable adaptation rate in an LMS system by providing an optimum adaptation coefficient .mu..sub.opt that provides a constant, uniform, and optimum adaptation rate on a per period basis for all frequencies. Various combinations of the above are described and are useful in active control systems.
