Semi-active isolation systems fill the gap between passive and active systems, delivering the versatility and adaptability of fully active systems, by expending a small amount of energy to change system parameters such as stiffness and damping. Magnetic suspension vibration isolation provides an excellent active isolation technology, and has shown useful characteristics including noncontact isolation, fast response, high reliability and long lifespan. However, because it is highly nonlinear and time variant, the control of magnetic suspension vibration isolation is an area that still requires further exploration. This paper presents a fuzzy control algorithm for a semi-active multi-degree-of-freedom vibration system. The fuzzy control is based on the minimization of the weighted sum of squared output forces. The output force response of the fuzzy, PID control semi-active vibration isolation system and passive system under the same excitation are simulated. The simulation results show that the fuzzy control system has much better performance in vibration isolation. An experimental platform is developed to test the performance of the magnetic suspension vibration isolation system and the proposed fuzzy control algorithm. The experimental results are found to be in good agreement with simulation.
