In this work, an advanced active vibration control system acting on a railway vehicle multibody dynamic model is applied to show the possible reduction of rail car body vibration amplitudes to improve ride comfort. The control concept uses Piezo stack actuators directly acting on the rail car body structure. Several promising actuator positioning cases are evaluated in various excitation scenarios by co-simulation of the multibody system dynamics in the SimPACK(r) simulation environment and the online vibration control algorithm in MatLab/SIMULINK(r). This way, a meaningful analysis of the...

This book demonstrates the potential of the blended wing body (BWB) concept for significant improvement in both fuel efficiency and noise reduction and addresses the considerable challenges raised for control engineers because of characteristics like open-loop instability, large flexible structure, and slow control surfaces. This text describes state-of-the-art and novel modeling and control design approaches for the BWB aircraft under consideration. The expert contributors demonstrate how exceptional robust control performance can be achieved despite such stringent design constraints as...
