Abstract
Improved active vibration control (AVC) devices (), systems, and related methods are provided herein. An AVC device () includes a controller () adapted to receive real-time aircraft information and adjust at least one control parameter as a function of the real-time aircraft information is provided. An AVC device is adapted to detect changes in real-time aircraft information, as the aircraft moves from a steady state to transient performance, low and high air speeds, or vice versa. An AVC system (e.g., AVCS) includes one or more sensors (), one or more actuators (), and a controller () adapted to receive real-time aircraft information and adjust at least one control parameter. In some aspects, a method of controlling vibration within an aircraft includes receiving vibration information from at least one sensor (), receiving real-time aircraft information from an avionics system (), adjusting at least one control parameter used in a control algorithm, and generating a force command.
