Fuzzy Logic Control of Magnetic Bearings for Suspension of Vibration Due to Sudden Imbalance

The main objective of this paper is to develop robust controllers for maintaining magnetic bearing control periods of sudden high force such as blade loss, flywheel partial burst, component loss, etc., to demonstrate superiority of nonlinear fuzzy logic control over linear control. Simplification of the nonlinear fuzzy logic algorithm for practical implementation on a DSP digital controller or on an analog controller is also performed.
