Advances of Research on Vibration Control

Due to the tremendous need for vibration suppression in engineering,researches on the problem of vibration control has always been the focus among worldwide researches. Classic vibration control approaches have formed a complete theoretical framework and have been extensively applied to solve industrial problems by engineers. These methods,however,suffer from some obvious flaws and consequently,the academic circle has long tried to overcome the shortcomings of the current vibration control techniques by proposing new structures or methods for vibration suppression. This paper reviews new worldwide advances of vibration control in recent years,mainly from the aspects of passive control and active control.
