Simulation and Experimental Research on Time Varying Delay Feedback Control Under Random Excitation

In this paper, the dynamic vibration absorber considering time delay is taken as the research object, and the effect of time delay on the vibration characteristics of the dynamic vibration absorber is studied by combining theory and experiment. In this paper, a time-varying time-delay feedback control method is proposed. Firstly, the instantaneous frequency of complex excitation is obtained by wavelet analysis. The instantaneous frequency determines the critical time-delay parameters of the dynamic vibration absorber with time-delay as the time-delay control quantity. Then, the optimal fixed time-delay feedback gain is calculated by improved particle swarm optimization. Finally, the time-varying delay gain parameter controls the time-delay dynamic vibration absorber. The vibration reduction effect of this approach under complicated excitation is investigated using a 2-DOF vibration system with a time-delay dynamic vibration absorber as an example. Based on simulation calculation, the bench test of the control strategy is carried out, and the influence of the control strategy on the control dynamic characteristics of the primary system is analyzed. The simulation and experimental results are consistent, laying the groundwork for this paper's research on time-varying delay control.
