Abstract

See full text

A control method for a mechanical vibration system independently modifies the higher and lower frequency components of the drive signal satisfying a target profile in a manner that limits displacement in the driven vibration. In particular, phases of the lower frequency components in a preliminary drive spectrum are independently adjusted so that peaks of the respective components are non-simultaneous and distributed in time to avoid contributing constructively. For example, the lower frequency components may be applied as a filter to a narrow-band time waveform, such as one with a swept frequency, to obtain the lower-frequency time waveform. The higher frequency components are randomized in their phase, transformed into the time domain, and recombined with the lower frequency part to obtain the drive signal.
