Active Vibration Control of a Thin Steel Sheet

[摘要] The commercial rolling process used in the steel industry to manufacture thin steel sheets tends to cause plate vibrations that lower the quality of the surface finish. This article introduces a noncontact method of active vibration control for reducing the flexural vibrations of a thin steel sheet. The proposed electromagnetic method of control has been implemented in a simple experimental setup where the signal from a motion sensor regulates the attractive force of the magnets that produce a damping force on the steel sheet.
