Improved circular force generator devices (100), systems, and methods for use in an active vibration control system are disclosed. The present subject matter can include improved rotary actuator devices, systems, and methods in which a center shaft (120) is positioned in a fixed relationship with respect to a component housing (114). At least one movable body can be positioned in the component housing and rotatably coupled to the center shaft by a radial bearing (130), the at least one movable body comprising a motor (110) and at least one eccentric mass (150). With this configuration, the motor can be configured to cause rotation of the movable body about the center shaft to produce a rotating force with a controllable rotating force magnitude and a controllable rotating force phase.

Improved active vibration control (AVC) devices (20), systems, and related methods are provided herein. An AVC device (20) includes a controller (24) 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 (22), one or more actuators (26), and a controller (24) 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 (22), receiving real-time aircraft information from an avionics system (40), adjusting at least one control parameter used in a control algorithm, and generating a force command.

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.
