2017年5月16日上午，德国达姆斯特工业大学Stephan Rinderknecht教授应邀在江宁校区自动化学院行政楼楼4楼会议室做了题为“Mechatronic System Approaches for Active Vibration Control of Rotating Machinery”的学术报告。会议由自动化学院院长姜斌教授主持，自动化学院部分师生参加了报告会。
报告会前，姜斌院长及测试系相关老师在院厅迎接Rinderknecht教授一行，并拍照留念。
Rinderknecht教授首先介绍了他主持的机电系统研究所（Institute of Mechatronic Systems in Mechanical Engineering (IMS)）的概况，然后从该所提出的关于主动球轴承转子振动控制技术的基本概念、转子振动抑制与隔离测试平台、原理样机测试实验结果及未来研究方向和应用等几方面展开学术报告。
报告首先由喷气发动机和高速机床等设备对性能的极致追求导致对高速旋转机械系统转速及其平稳性要求越来越高引入主题，并通过理论和视频实例解释了转子在高速旋转过程中因动不平衡引起有害振动的机理。然后，Rinderknecht教授系统回顾和比较了常用被动减振方法及控制算法，评论了其局限性，并提出了一种半主动减振技术。随后，具体介绍了采用压电致动器进行转子主动减振/隔振的实施方案及实验。重点介绍了基于压电致动器与常用滚珠球轴承集成设计的主动减振机构原理，并通过系统仿真和实验验证了该主动减振思想及其实施方案的显著效果。报告最后探讨了这种主动减振思想在喷气发动机领域的应用前景。
最后Rinderknecht教授与师生就报告内容进行了热烈的交流互动。
报告会后，Rinderknecht教授参观了自动化学院测试系实验室。
同日下午，在测试系系办，Rinderknecht教授与有关老师进行座谈，深入探讨了合作领域与合作模式。
