Abstract: Random vibration control of electro-hydraulic shaking table is the key technology for large structures vibration simulation. Three variable control (TVC) developed based on linear model is commonly used for the control of electro-hydraulic shaking table. However, the mismatched disturbance force is not compensated by TVC. Sliding mode control can be used for disturbance rejection in the electro-hydraulic servo system. But the conventional sliding mode control cannot be applied for the acceleration random control of the electro-hydraulic shaking table when the valve null bias is neglected. Model reference sliding mode control with valve null bias compensation is presented for the electro-hydraulic shaking table system to improve the acceleration tracking performance. The backstepping and Lyapunov method are used to develop the controller based on nonlinear state space model. The reference model is used for the generation of the reference signals. Model reference sliding mode control is used for the disturbance rejection and valve null bias compensation. The feedforward controller in TVC is added to improve the acceleration tracking performance. Experimental results obtained in step responses and acceleration random vibration are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: electro-hydraulic shaking table, acceleration control, model reference sliding mode control, disturbance rejection, valve null bias compensation
