A torsional rotating system is considered for the investigation of passive vibration control using dual loop controllers Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) with derivative (D) gain and Proportional – Derivative (PD) with Integral (I) controllers. The controllers are used as low pass filters. Simulation of the models using Matlab-Simulink have been built in this work for torsional vibration control. A comparison between the two controllers with uncontrolled system have been carried out. Results show that the PD – I control is the best method which gives better stability response than the PID – D control.
This paper focuses on the vibration suppression of a half-car model by using a modified PID controller. Mostly, car vibrations could result from some road disturbances, such as bumps or potholes transmitted to a car body. The proposed controller consists of three main components as in the case of the conventional PID controller which are (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) but the difference is in the positions of these components in the control loop system. Initially, a linear half-car suspension system is modeled in two forms passive and active, the activation process occurred using a controlled hydraulic actuator. Thereafter, the two systems have been simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software in order to demonstrate the dynamic response. A comparison between conventional and modified PID controllers has been carried out. The resulting dynamic response of the half-car model obtained from the simulation process was improved when using a modified PID controller compared with the conventional PID controller. Moreover, the efficiency and performance of the half-car model suspension have been significantly enhanced by using the proposed controller. Thus, achieving high vehicle stability and ride comfort.
