Acceleration amplitude-phase regulation for electro-hydraulic servo shaking table based on LMS adaptive filtering algorithm

Abstract

Electro-hydraulic servo shaking table usually requires good control performance for acceleration replication. The poles of the electro-hydraulic servo shaking table are placed by three-variable control method using pole placement theory. The system frequency band is thus extended and the system stability is also enhanced. The phase delay and amplitude attenuation phenomenon occurs in electro-hydraulic servo shaking table corresponding to an acceleration sinusoidal input. The method for phase delay and amplitude attenuation elimination based on LMS adaptive filtering algorithm is proposed here. The task is accomplished by adjusting the weights using LMS adaptive filtering algorithm when there exits phase delay and amplitude attenuation between the input and its corresponding acceleration response. The reference input is weighted in such a way that it makes the system output track the input efficiently. The weighted input signal is inputted to the control system such that the output phase delay and amplitude attenuation are all cancelled. The above concept is used as a basis for the development of amplitude-phase regulation (APR) algorithm. The method does not need to estimate the system model and has good real-time performance. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed APR control scheme.
