The sixteen chapters of the book written by selected experts from international scientific community cover a wide range of interesting research topics related to original and innovative design methodologies of passive, semi-active and active vibration control schemes, dynamic vibration absorbers, vehicle suspension systems, structural vibration, identification, vibration control devices, smart materials, fault detection, finite element analysis and several other recent practical applications and theoretical studies of this fascinating field of vibration analysis and control. The book is addressed not only to both academic and industrial researchers and practitioners of this field, but also to undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students and other experts and newcomers in a variety of disciplines seeking to know more about the state of the art, challenging open problems, innovative solution proposals and new trends and developments in this area. The book is organized into 16 chapters. A brief description of every chapter follows. Chapter 1 presents the basic design principles of adaptive tuned vibration absorbers (ATVA) and a comprehensive review of the various design concepts that have been presented for the ATVA, including the latest innovations contributed by the author. Chapter 2 introduces a design approach for active vibration absorption schemes in linear mass-spring-damper mechanical systems subject to exogenous harmonic vibrations, which can simultaneously be used for vibration attenuation and desired reference trajectory tracking tasks. Chapter 3 deals with the seismic response control of eccentric structures using Circular Tuned Liquid Column Dampers (CTLCD). The optimal control parameters are derived from the motion equation of the CTLCD- structure system and supposing that ground motion is a stochastic process. Chapter 4 presents the practical implementation of an active mass damper to cancel excessive vertical vibrations on an in-service office floor and on an in-service footbridge. In Chapter 5, the authors describe the formulation and experimental evaluation of various vibration control strategies for semi-active vehicle suspension system with magnetorheological (MR) dampers. The design of a back-stepping control scheme for semi-active vehicle suspension systems with MR dampers is the focus of Chapter 6. Chapter 7 proposes a robust control scheme based on the real-time estimation of perturbation signals for active nonlinear or linear vehicle suspension systems subject to unknown exogenous disturbances due to irregular road surfaces. Chapter 8 X Preface introduces a methodology for semi-active control system design of civil structures. A semi-active control law based on a one-step-ahead prediction of the seismic response is proposed, which employs a vibration control device developed by the authors. Chapter 9 deals with the seismic response control using smart materials. Mathematical models are developed to predict the maximum energy dissipation capability of the material under study. Chapter 10 presents a general overview on the transmissibility concept for multiple degree-of-freedom systems. It is shown that the various ways in which transmissibility can be defined and applied opens various possibilities for research in different domains, like system identification, structural modification, coupling analysis, damage detection, model updating, vibro-acoustic applications, isolation and vibration attenuation. The focus of Chapter 11 is on design of control schemes for vibration mitigation on wind turbine systems. The main control objective of the proposed schemes is to reduce the torque variations by using speed control with collective blade pitch adjustments. Chapter 12 focuses on the evaluation of an active isolation and vibration damping device on the working cell of a micro-mechanical laser center, using active electromagnetic actuators. Chapter 13 presents an overview of multisensory inference approaches used to characterize motor ball bearings, and their application to a set of motors with distributed fault failure. The results show that a multivariable design contributes positively to damage monitoring of bearings. Chapter 14 investigates the dynamic behavior of an oil production platform submitted to impacts produced by rotating machinery. A computational model is developed for the structural system dynamic analysis. The peak acceleration values and maximum displacements and velocities are employed to evaluate the structural model performance in terms of human comfort, maximum tolerances of the mechanical equipment and vibration serviceability limit states of the structural system. Chapter 15 proposes LQG and weighted H2 MIMO control design methods for the vibration control of lightweight rail car body structures. These designs are studied and compared to achieve vibration reduction and passenger ride comfort improvement in a highly flexible metro rail car body. The metro car body structure is directly actuated via locally mounted Piezo stack actuators. Chapter 16 concludes the book, describing a study on vibrotactile stimuli on the submandibular glands stimulated by vibration with one motor and two motors. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the authors for their excellent contributions, which I am sure will be valuable to the readers. I would also like to thank the editorial staff at InTech for their great effort and support in the process of edition and publication of the book. I truly hope that this book can be useful and inspiring for contributing to the development of technology, new academic and industrial research and many inventions and innovations in the field of vibration analysis and control.
