Optimization of parameters of a modal active control in a beam of composite material

The present work proposes the active vibration control in a beam of composite material, using electromagnetic actuators, in order to obtain a reduction in the response of the displacement of the system associated to a reduction in energy consumption. The control theory used was the linear quadratic regulator solved by linear matrix inequalities. The electromagnetic actuator was then linearized using a methodology similar to that used in magnetic bearings. The work also proposes to study the optimization of parameters applied in this active control, by means of the heuristic optimization methods. From numerical simulations, the system´s response was obtained in the time domain that demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed technique in the active control of vibrations
