Experiment of active control using electromagnetic force

In the use of the feedback designed by the transfer function method, the experiment on active control, in which an electromagnetic exciter is used as an actuator, is studied in this paper. The experiment has been made using a car model with four degrees of freedom (4 DOF) excited by low frequency sine or wider bandwidth random signal. This shows that the electromagnetic exciter is suitable for active control in the case of low frequency and wider bandwidth random signal because of its short mechanical delay, and the attenuating effect is above 80%.The project was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
