Modal Control of Cantilever Beam Using a Gyrostabilizer

摘要

In this paper,an experimental model of a horizontal cantilever beam with a rotating/oscillating attached to the shaker for harmonic excitation at the one end and a gyrostabilizer at the other end is built to verify the equations of the Lagrangian model.The primary focus of the study was to investigate the parameters of excitation amplitude,natural frequency,rotating mass(disk mass),and disk speed of gyro that would minimize the amplitude of the beam to identify these effects.Numerical and experimental results indicate that the angular momentum of the gyrostabilizer is the most effective parameter in the reduction of beam displacement.
