Abstract
In this paper, the problem of active damping of the elastodynamic
vibrations of a flexible slider-crank mechanism is
addressed. The slider-crank mechanism is such that the
connecting rod is flexible and the crank link is rigid. The
slider-crank mechanism system is underactuated since the
connecting rod is not directly controlled. A dynamic
model for the slider-crank mechanism is derived using the
Hamiltonian principle. Then, a control scheme which is
based on an energy approach is proposed. The control
scheme uses the passivity of the system to eliminate the
vibrations of the flexible connecting rod. Simulation results
are given to illustrate the theoretical developments.
