Hybrid Fx-NLMS Algorithm for Active Vibration Control of Flexible Beam with Piezoelectric Stack Actuator

Filtered-x Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm is a meaningful adaptation algorithm used in the field of Active Vibration Control (AVC). Hybrid FxLMS algorithm, which is the combination of the feedforward structure and the feedback structure of FxLMS, has a better stability and could get the same performance with a lower filter order. In order to get a faster convergence speed, this paper adopts Normalized LMS (NLMS) algorithm to replace of LMS algorithm in the hybrid AVC system. To verify the Hybrid Fx-NLMS algorithm, this paper developed a simulation platform for active vibration control of a flexible beam with piezoelectric stack actuator using ADAMS and MATLAB SIMULINK. Simulation results show that the convergence speed and vibration suppression performance of the Hybrid Fx-NLMS algorithm are better than other traditional algorithms.
