    摘要: Hub-mounted active vibration control (HAVC) devices, systems, and related methods are provided. An HAVC device (100) includes a housing (206) having a tolerance ring (600) attached to a rotary hub (702). The tolerance ring can accommodate dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion between dissimilar metals. The HAVC device can also include a plurality of coaxial ring motors (308A, 308B, 310A, 310B) configured to rotate a plurality of imbalance masses for controlling vibration. An HAVC system can further include a de-icing distributor (208) for communicating instructions to one or more heating sources (HS) provided at one or more rotary blades (802) of a vehicle or aircraft. A method of controlling vibratory loads occurring at a moving platform can include providing a moving platform, mounting a vibration control device to a portion of the moving platform, and rotating at least one pair of imbalance masses such that the combined forces of the masses substantially cancel unwanted vibration of the platform.

    摘要: Improved active vibration control (AVC) devices, systems, and related methods are provided herein. An AVC device includes a controller adapted to receive real-time aircraft information and adjust at least one control parameter as a function of the real-time aircraft information is provided. An AVC device is adapted to detect changes in real-time aircraft information, as the aircraft moves from a steady state to transient performance, low and high air speeds, or vice versa. An AVC system (e.g., AVCS) includes one or more sensors, one or more actuators, and a controller adapted to receive real-time aircraft information and adjust at least one control parameter. In some aspects, a method of controlling vibration within an aircraft includes receiving vibration information from at least one sensor, receiving real-time aircraft information from an avionics system, adjusting at least one control parameter used in a control algorithm, and generating a force command.

    摘要: Active vibration control systems (100) and methods are provided herein. Systems (100) are expandable and include a plurality of vibration control devices (110) and at least a first controller (102) digitally linked with a second controller (104) via an interface (108). The first and the second controllers exchange information for generation of a force control command (FCC) either the first or second controller. The FCC is then executed at a first vibration control device (110) of the plurality of vibration control devices (FG) for providing active vibration control within a vehicle. A method of providing vibration control in a vehicle includes providing a plurality of active vibration control devices (100) and providing at least a first controller (102) digitally linked with a second controller (104). The method further includes generating a FCC using information exchanged between the first and the second controllers. The method further includes sending the FCC to a first vibration control device (110) of the plurality of devices (FG).
