Seminar "Enabling Vibration Control through Power Actuators: An Integrated Design Approach" - Renato Galluzzi, Research Professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM, a seminar titled "Enabling Vibration Control through Power Actuators: An Integrated Design Approach" will be presented by Renato Galluzzi, Research Professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
This seminar delves into the design principles of actuators aimed at achieving motion and force control across a variety of engineering applications. Emphasizing generality and adaptability, multiple actuation schemes are shown. These application-specific solutions are tailored to meet diverse operational requirements, including force output, speed, bandwidth, and geometric constraints. The discussed actuator systems involve a high degree of interaction between the involved physical domains. Mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and control subsystems must be dealt with in a multidisciplinary context to fulfill target specifications at a system level. To illustrate these concepts in practice, the seminar features two case studies from the automotive industry, focusing on the implementation of electrohydrostatic and electromechanical actuators as suspension shock absorbers. These applications highlight the significance of power actuators in the current electrification trend of the automotive sector.
