  • Publication number: 20240125669
    Abstract: A vibration control device, while applying Gaussian vibration that matches a target vibration physical quantity PSD to a test piece, makes a corresponding vibration physical quantity non-Gaussian. Using a response vibration physical quantity PSD and a target vibration physical quantity PSD, a control vibration physical quantity PSD calculation generates a control vibration physical quantity PSD for generating a drive signal. A PSD conversion converts the control vibration physical quantity PSD into a control corresponding vibration physical quantity PSD of another dimension. Using the control corresponding vibration physical quantity PSD, a control corresponding vibration physical quantity waveform calculation calculates a control corresponding vibration physical quantity waveform that is non-Gaussian.

  • Patent number: 11835426
    Abstract: A vibration control system calculates a Kurtosis Response Spectrum (KRS) of a response waveform which characterizes non-Gaussianity in a random vibration test and is utilized for vibration control. The system compares a target KRS and the response KRS, and controls a characteristic of a phase used to generate a waveform for control such that the response KRS becomes equal to the target KRS. The waveform for control is generated by applying a random phase to each frequency component of an amplitude corresponding to Power Spectral Density (PSD). The system controls a characteristic of this phase (e.g., standard deviation) per frequency, controls the KRS, deforms the waveform for control on the basis of an equalization characteristic, and calculates a drive waveform. The system sequentially updates the equalization characteristic on the basis of the response waveform and the drive waveform. The calculated drive waveform is provided to a vibration generator.

  • Publication number: 20220373427
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a parameter that appropriately characterizes non-Gaussianity in a random vibration test and realizes vibration control using the parameter. A vibration control system calculates a KRS of a response waveform. The system compares a reference KRS as a target and the response KRS, and controls a characteristic of a phase used to generate a waveform for control such that the response KRS becomes equal to the reference KRS. Upon generation of the waveform for control, the waveform for control is generated by applying an appropriate random phase to each frequency component of an amplitude corresponding to PSD for control. The system controls a characteristic of this random phase (for example, standard deviation of phase distribution, or the like) per frequency, and controls the KRS of the waveform for control.

  • Patent number: 6377900
    Abstract: A measuring system for measuring a transfer function matrix of a system to be controlled by applying sine-wave excitations to a test object simultaneously by multiple number of vibrators. In the measuring system, when sine-wave signals for driving multiple number of vibrators are generated, phases between the sine-wave signals are shifted randomly, first, and then multiple number of vibrators are excited simultaneously under the generated sine-wave signals. Then, an auto-spectrum and a cross-spectrum for one calculation are calculated from spectral data on a vibration frequency obtained from an analysis of excitation signals and response signals acquired during the excitations.
