20220373427 · 2022-11-24 ·

The present invention proposes a parameter that appropriately characterizes non-Gaussianity in a random vibration test and realizes vibration control using the parameter. A vibration control system calculates a KRS of a response waveform. The system compares a reference KRS as a target and the response KRS, and controls a characteristic of a phase used to generate a waveform for control such that the response KRS becomes equal to the reference KRS. Upon generation of the waveform for control, the waveform for control is generated by applying an appropriate random phase to each frequency component of an amplitude corresponding to PSD for control. The system controls a characteristic of this random phase (for example, standard deviation of phase distribution, or the like) per frequency, and controls the KRS of the waveform for control. The system deforms the waveform for control on the basis of an equalization characteristic, for which a transfer function of the system is taken into consideration, and calculates a drive waveform. The system sequentially updates the equalization characteristic on the basis of the response waveform and the drive waveform. The calculated drive waveform is converted into a drive signal by a D/A convertor 26, is amplified by an amplifier 28, and is provided to a vibration generator 2.
