Modelling and Control of Turbomachinery Vibrations

Abstract
The authors describe an integrated approach to the modelling and active control of lateral vibrations in turbomachinery. Starting with consideration of the control of multiple rotor bending modes, the generation of a state vector from available measurements using an observer is discussed together with the effect on stability of employing a controller of reduced order. The various points are illustrated in an extended case study which also compares the active schemes with one involving a simple passive damper.
