ABSTRACT:
An active vibration control (AVC) system is disclosed for attenuating vibrational frequency components generated by an engine and transferred through an engine mounting unit to vibrate a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle is characterized by sprung mass and unsprung mass natural resonant frequencies at which the body also vibrates when the vehicle is driven over an undulating road surface. The AVC system operates by generating input signals representing different vibrational frequency components generated by the engine based upon sensed changes in engine rotation. Each input signal is filtered by an adaptive filter to produce a respective output signal. The output signals are summed to produce a canceling signal for driving an inertial mass shaker mounted on the body. The shaker inversely vibrates the body with respect to the different vibrational frequency components transferred to the body from the engine. A vibration sensor mounted to the body proximate the shaker monitors body vibration and develops a representative error signal. Vibrational components associated with the sprung and unsprung mass natural resonant frequencies are substantially removed from the error signal using a dual notch filter. The filtered error signal is then used to adjust the filtering characteristics of the adaptive filter to minimize vibration of the body caused by the different vibrational frequency components transferred to the body from the engine.
