Introduction The most of rotation machines, overall those built in axis and flexible rotor-bearings, in the machine start

up, it can pass through critical speed which may cause the system to resonance. In the vibration viewpoint, the resonance works as mechanical amplifier, it may lead the system to collapse and induce seriously materials damages and/or humans. Therefore, exist the constant worry by looking for effectives methods that attenuate the vibration effect when pass through by such speeds. In the most common methods for attenuation of these vibrations, has to induce an increase of acceleration when it pass through the critical speeds [1]. Although, this method become inefficient form the moment which requires a more power in machine, to provide a high acceleration power. Other method, according with these authors, is to raise the relation the machine damping, which is not an easy work. Many works in this subject have been proposed, principally in passive control and active adaptive. In this direction is the use of the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), considered a smart material (metallic alloy), able to return in the original shape just with the change of temperature and/or mechanical tension, having as one of the main characteristics, its high damping capacity, in function the vibration increase. This paper shows the results of the use SMA actuators (springs) to vibration decrease, in an active rotor-bearing (pedestal bearing) using a fuzzy controller. MODEL OF THE SYSTEM The system rotor-bearing shown in Figure 1a can be considered a vibration absorber (Figure 1b), where the pedestal bearing mass corresponds to secondary system, and the mass of rotor-bearing corresponds to primary system. The values of mass and stiffness of absorber are chosen to the motion of mass of primary system be minimum. The equation of motion, in matrix form, to condition submitted in Figure 1 is shown in Equation 1. Solving the system from matrix operations, can be obtained:

Experimental Results The physic model built of system axis-rotor (impeller) consist of 2 rolling bearings (one assembled in a pedestal bearing and another one in rolling bearing absorber with 4 SMA Springs), one axis of steel with length l=420 mm and diameter of 12mm, one disc of steel of diameter 180 mm and mass 2.2 Kg, attached in axis and electric motor of 0,5 cv, bounded in a converser of frequency, as shown in Figure 4. The Chart 1 shows the general parameters of system. Were performed many tests with the system being subjected in a variation in motor rotation, of 0 to 40 Hz, in a acceleration rate of approximately 1 rad/s2 ( with ramp time = 241s), with and without actuation fuzzy controller. The results achieved are presented in Figures 5 and 6. In Figure 6a has result in time of amplitudes when the springs were around 22C. Observed an increased of 90% in amplitude, when the system got in resonance (FNM=27 Hz). In Figure 6b has result in time of amplitudes when the springs were around 60C. Observed an increased of 90% in amplitude, also, when the system got in resonance (FNA=30 HZ).

The actuation of fuzzy controller is shown in Figure 7, to a temperature variation. There was found that there was a reduction in order of 65% in amplitudes when the passage by natural frequency in martensite phase ( low rigidity springs) to austenite phase ( high rigidity springs), in relation system without. control. This is because, as was shown in Figure 8b, to heating effect in springs in martensite phase and the suddenly cooling as the springs was found in 60C ( austenite phase), proving the efficiency of actuators (SMA springs) and the use of fuzzy logic in temperature control. CONCLUSION The article submitted the study theorical-experimental to vibration control of one system axisrotor subjected to one rolling bearing absorber using SMA springs. The vibration control based in the fuzzy controller with stated rules in variation function of temperature variation, showed when the springs were activated in resonance zone, the system was capable to reduce in around 65% of amplitudes of vibration in relation to normal state running without control, proving the efficiency.
