Design, simulation and experimental verification of an active inductance for a low frequency tuned mass damper in an aircraft fuselage active vibration cancellation system

In the context of Clean Sky 2 project TAVAC, technologies for active Vibration and Acoustic Comfort are investigated to be used in business jet aircrafts. More specifically in order to reduce the resulting low frequency vibration on the aircraft tip a Semi-Active Tuned Mass Damper was designed using very large inductances. This paper presents the design, simulation and laboratory prototyping of high value inductances, in the range of 4 H.
