Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration suppression technology for large flexible structures, and particularly to a method for synergistic vibration suppression within a flexible structure domain. Background Technology
[0002] Large flexible structures have wide applications in practical engineering, such as satellite solar panels, large antennas, bridges, and skyscrapers. Most of these flexible structures can be simplified into flexible beams (e.g.,...). Figure 2 The simply supported beam shown is susceptible to vibration due to its low rigidity, making it vulnerable to external disturbances. This vibration affects the structural performance, accelerates fatigue damage, and reduces its service life. For example, large suspension bridges are subject to visible deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction, the weight of vehicles on the bridge deck, and natural wind, threatening bridge safety. Therefore, research on vibration suppression of flexible structures has significant practical application value.
[0003] The vibration evolution dynamics of flexible structures are more complex, encompassing dynamic information in both time and space dimensions, and are typically characterized by partial differential equations. Early research on vibration suppression in flexible structures largely employed the hypothetical modal method to obtain modal truncation models, and then designed vibration suppression algorithms based on these models. However, for flexible structures, due to their dense modalities and low damping, vibration suppression based on modal truncation models easily leads to control overflow problems. In recent years, designing vibration suppression strategies directly based on the structural partial differential equation model has received increasing attention. Considering the non-intrusive nature of control and measurement for specific structures, existing research has largely focused on boundary vibration suppression frameworks.
[0004] Of course, engineering practice also presents a type of vibration suppression problem for flexible structures, such as suspension bridges and skyscrapers. Typically, actuators and sensors are discretely placed along the axial direction to obtain more accurate and comprehensive vibration information and suppression effects. For boundary vibration suppression of such flexible structures, actuators and sensors can only be placed on the structure's boundaries. This limits the vibration suppression capability of proposed control algorithms for flexible structures to some extent, especially in cases with distributed external disturbances. To effectively suppress the vibration of flexible structures and improve their safety, actuators and sensors are placed inside the flexible structure (e.g., along the axial direction), such as... Figure 3 As shown, their quantity and placement can be adjusted according to actual needs (such as installation process, usage environment, etc.). This is completely different from existing boundary vibration suppression methods, belonging to the category of control within the distributed parameter system domain, and can fundamentally improve the flexibility and robustness of vibration suppression strategies. Literature review reveals that research on vibration suppression problems within flexible structure domains based on partial differential equation models remains open.
[0005] Although multi-agent cooperative control has been extensively and deeply studied and has yielded fruitful results, the question of how to introduce the concept of multi-agent cooperative control and construct a cooperative vibration suppression algorithm to fundamentally improve the vibration suppression performance of flexible structures in both time and space dimensions remains open, especially the corresponding analysis of consistent space realization characterized by vibration measurement output. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a method for cooperative vibration suppression within a flexible structure domain, addressing the technical problem that existing technologies lack effective solutions to introduce the concept of multi-agent cooperative control and construct a cooperative vibration suppression algorithm to fundamentally improve the vibration suppression performance of flexible structures in both time and space dimensions.

[0080] This embodiment provides a method for intra-domain cooperative vibration suppression of flexible structures, which improves vibration suppression performance by introducing the concept of multi-agent cooperative control. This method not only considers the dynamic information of flexible structure vibration in both time and space dimensions, but also employs intra-domain control to incorporate the concept of multi-agent cooperative control, ultimately achieving cooperative vibration suppression of flexible structures. This provides effective technical support and theoretical guidance for enhancing the safety performance of flexible structures, such as spacecraft, bridges, and super high-rise buildings.
[0081] This method targets a class of flexible structures with multiple actuators and sensors discretely configured along their axial direction. Treating the actuators and sensors as intelligent agents, it proposes an intra-domain cooperative vibration suppression method by introducing the concept of multi-agent cooperative control. First, based on a spatial one-dimensional partial differential equation model characterizing the vibration of the flexible structure, vibration measurement information obtained from sensors is used, combined with a multi-agent consensus protocol, to construct an intra-domain cooperative vibration suppression algorithm, aiming to simultaneously improve the vibration suppression performance in both time and space dimensions. By constructing a suitable energy function and utilizing integration by parts, sufficient conditions for the existence of this intra-domain cooperative vibration suppression algorithm are given, transforming the cooperative vibration suppression problem of flexible structures into a feasibility problem constrained by linear matrix inequalities. For the more general case of non-co-location measurement, this cooperative vibration suppression strategy can be easily extended using observer output feedback control technology.

[0084] S2 treats actuators and sensors as intelligent agents, combines a multi-agent consensus protocol and utilizes vibration measurement information obtained from sensors to design a cooperative vibration suppression strategy within the flexible structure domain.
[0085] It should be noted that, for more general non-co-located vibration measurement scenarios, the cooperative vibration suppression strategy presented in this embodiment can be easily extended by leveraging observer output feedback control technology.
[0086] S3, The cooperative vibration suppression strategy within the flexible structure domain is applied to the one-dimensional partial differential equation model corresponding to the flexible structure to achieve cooperative vibration suppression within the flexible structure domain.
[0087] Furthermore, the method for synergistic vibration suppression within the flexible structure domain also includes:
[0088] By constructing an energy function method and combining it with integral by parts, the problem of cooperative vibration suppression in the domain of flexible structures is transformed into a feasibility problem constrained by linear matrix inequalities.
[0089] Specifically, the design steps for the cooperative vibration suppression strategy within the flexible structure domain are as follows:
[0090] 1) Partial differential equation model of vibration of flexible structure
[0091] Suppose a class of flexible structures whose spatiotemporal dynamic evolution behavior of vibration can be characterized by the following partial differential equation:
[0092]
[0093] Constrained by the following boundary conditions
[0094] w(0,t)=w(L,t=0,w x (x,t)| x=0,L =0,t>0 (2a)
[0095] or
[0096]
[0097] and initial conditions
[0098] w(x,0)=w0(x),w t (x,0)=w1(x),x∈[0,L] (3)
[0099] Where w(x,t) represents the vibration offset of the flexible structure at position x at time t, the subscripts x and t represent its partial derivatives with respect to position x and time t, respectively, ρ represents the density of the structure, A represents the cross-sectional area of the structure, and EI represents the bending stiffness of the structure. This represents the control input used for vibration suppression, which is provided by m actuators. L represents the axial length of the flexible structure;
[0100] These actuators are discretely distributed along their axial direction, and their distribution is determined by a function. Characterization. This function. The specific definition is:
[0101]
[0102] in, and If let Then expression (4) describes the case where the actuator acts only at a certain point, corresponding to the point control case of the distributed parameter system; w0(x) and w1(x) are defined to represent the initial vibration state of the flexible structure; boundary condition (2a) describes the spatiotemporal vibration dynamics of a simply supported beam (such as a bridge), while boundary condition (2b) describes the spatiotemporal vibration behavior of a cantilever beam (such as a skyscraper or a flexible robotic arm); Indicates the length of the actuator-sensor pair's operating area. This indicates the left boundary of the actuator-sensor interaction area. This indicates the right boundary of the actuator-sensor's area of action;
[0103] Vibration measurement output of flexible structure for:
[0104]
[0105] The placement of the sensors within the space (0,L) is determined by a function. Characterization. Note that in measurement equation (5), the sensor deployment function is characterized. It is also used to characterize the placement of actuators in the spatial domain, which means that the sensors and actuators are placed in the same location.
[0106] 2) Collaborative vibration suppression strategy
[0107] Treating actuators and sensors as intelligent agents, the communication topology between these agents is derived from a more general m-order directed / undirected time-varying weighted graph. Description, in which, It is a set of agent IDs. It is a set of edges, and It is ω ij (t) is the directed / undirected time-varying weighted adjacency matrix of the elements; the set of neighboring agents that communicate with agent i. Defined as If agent j is a neighbor of agent i, then agent i can communicate with agent j; for time-varying directed / undirected weighted graphs. Its Laplace matrix Defined as and It is a degree matrix, and its elements are ω ij (t) represents the time-varying communication topology connection weight between agents i and j;
[0108] For time-varying directed / undirected weighted graphs We introduce the following assumptions:
[0109] Assumption 1: If G(t) is a time-varying undirected graph, then it is assumed to be connected; if G(t) is a time-varying directed graph, then it is assumed to be strongly connected and balanced; where balanced means that the out-degree and in-degree of any node in the graph are equal.
[0110] If the time-varying directed / undirected weighted graph G(t) satisfies Assumption 1, then its Laplace matrix... satisfy:
[0111]
[0112] Combining a multi-agent consensus protocol, the following cooperative vibration suppression strategy is constructed:
[0113]
[0114] in, β(t)≥0 is the undetermined time-varying control gain, and β(t)≥0 is the given time-varying cooperative control gain. If β(t)=0, the cooperative vibration suppression strategy (7) degenerates into the traditional non-cooperative vibration suppression strategy.
[0115] Under the action of the cooperative vibration suppression strategy (7), the closed-loop form of the partial differential equation (1) is:
[0116]
[0117] 3) Construct an energy function method and combine it with integration by parts to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of the cooperative vibration suppression strategy. The cooperative vibration suppression problem within the flexible structure domain is then transformed into a feasibility problem constrained by linear matrix inequalities. The steps are as follows:
[0118] First, Lemma 1 gives the integration by parts technique used in the derivation:
[0119] Lemma 1: Let f(x) and g(x), x∈[0,L], be two functions of x, each having continuous derivatives df(x) / dx and dg(x) / dx, and integrals... If it exists, then There exists and there is a formula for integration by parts.
[0120] Theorem 1 Consider a class of flexible structures whose spatiotemporal vibration dynamics can be characterized by partial differential equations (1)-(3) and the time-varying communication topology G(t) between intelligent agents (actuators and sensors) satisfies Assumption 1; for a given time-varying cooperative control gain β(t) > 0, and If control gain exists The following conditions must be met:
[0121]
[0122] Then there exists a cooperative vibration suppression strategy (7) that ensures that the closed-loop equation (8) constrained by the boundary conditions (2) and the initial conditions (3) is stable and asymptotically realized by the equation y1(t)=y2(t)=…=y m (t) describes a one-dimensional uniform space;
[0123] (1) Stability analysis based on energy function
[0124]
[0125] By taking the derivative of equation (7) along the solution locus of the closed-loop equation (8), we can obtain:
[0126]
[0127] By applying the integration by parts technique (i.e., Lemma 1) and considering the boundary condition (2), we can obtain:
[0128]
[0129] By applying the integration by parts technique again and considering the boundary conditions (2), we can obtain:
[0130]
[0131] Substituting equations (12) and (13) into equation (11), we get:
[0132]
[0133] in,
[0134] Using inequality (9), for y(t) ≠ 0, we have:
[0135]
[0136] That is, the energy function defined by equation (10) along the solution trajectory of the closed-loop equation (8) decays;
[0137] (2) From the equation y1(t)=y2(t)=…=y m (t) represents the asymptotic realization of the consistency space.
[0138] make Then the following inequality holds.
[0139]
[0140] Among them, the inequality sign is based on facts. We obtain (according to inequality (6)) here, It is a matrix The largest eigenvalue;
[0141] According to equation (14), by contradiction, it is easy to obtain the following conclusion: v(t)→0, as t→∞; and according to the definition of v(t), from the equation y1(t)=y2(t)=…=y m The one-dimensional uniform space described by (t) is asymptotically realized, Q.E.D.
[0142] The effectiveness of the method in this embodiment will be explained below with reference to practical application examples.
[0143] Consider a class of simply supported beams, let ρ = 2729.5, A = 1.471 × 10⁻⁶. -3 E = 66.26 × 10 9 I = 1.14 × 10 -8 L = 1. For the placement of the co-position sensor-actuator along the beam axis (i.e., within the spatial region [0,1]), select... Based on inequality (9), we select time-varying control gains k1(t) = 0.8, k2(t) = 1.2, k3(t) = 0.9, time-varying cooperative control gain β(t) = 5, and the undirected Laplace matrix of the time-varying communication topology G between the three pairs of co-actuator-sensor pairs.
[0144]
[0145] To fully demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the cooperative control strategy, a distributed disturbance d(x,t) is added to the partial differential equation (1). In this case, equation (1) can be modified as follows:
[0146]
[0147] Assume the initial offset of the simply supported beam is w0(x)=sin(πcos(πx)), x∈[0,1], the initial offset velocity is w1(x)=0, x∈[0,1], and the distributed disturbance value is d(x,t)=sin(πx / L)sin(t). Applying the intra-domain cooperative vibration suppression strategy (7) with the above parameter values to the differential equation (17), the spatiotemporal evolution profile of the vibration offset w(x,t) of the simply supported beam and the closed-loop evolution trajectory of |w(·,t)|2 are as follows. Figure 4 and 5 . Figure 6 The closed-loop vibration offsets of the flexible beam driven by the cooperative vibration suppression strategy of this embodiment and the traditional non-cooperative vibration suppression strategy are given respectively: the vibration offsets w(x,t) on the spatial axis at different times t=0.3, t=1, and t=1.5. Meanwhile, Figure 5The closed-loop evolution trajectory of the vibration offset of the flexible beam driven by the traditional non-cooperative vibration suppression strategy is also presented. The above simulation results reveal the effectiveness and robustness of the cooperative control strategy constructed in this embodiment, as well as the significant improvement in both time and space dimensions compared with the traditional non-cooperative vibration suppression performance.
[0148] In summary, the method in this embodiment directly designs a vibration suppression algorithm for the partial differential equation model of the flexible structure, effectively overcoming the problem of control overflow that easily occurs when vibration suppression is based on a modal truncation model. Unlike existing boundary vibration suppression methods, the actuators and sensors used for vibration suppression are discretely placed along the axial direction of the flexible structure. These actuators and sensors are treated as intelligent agents, and a cooperative vibration suppression strategy within the flexible structure domain is proposed using a multi-agent consensus protocol and vibration measurement information obtained from the sensors, simultaneously improving vibration suppression performance in both time and space dimensions. By constructing a suitable energy function and applying integral-from-parts techniques, sufficient conditions for the existence of this cooperative vibration suppression strategy within the domain are given, ultimately reducing the cooperative vibration suppression problem within the flexible structure domain to a feasibility problem constrained by linear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, with the help of observer output feedback control technology, this cooperative vibration suppression strategy can be easily extended to non-co-located vibration measurement scenarios. Therefore, it can provide effective technical support and theoretical guidance for scenarios such as enhancing the safety performance of flexible structures, including spacecraft, bridges, and super high-rise buildings.
