Abstract This paper explores the vibration control of Rayleigh oscillator (a self-excited system), by using positive position feedback method. Both linear and nonlinear stability analyses are performed. The stability regions and optimal system parameters are obtained by performing linear stability analysis, and nonlinear analysis is performed using describing function method to get the amplitude and frequency of the system. The effect of time-delay on system performance is also studied in this paper. It is observed that the existence of time-delay can be unfavourable; however, the situation can be improved by increasing the loop gain. However, it is impossible to design a system without time-delay present in the feedback circuit. Therefore, to nullify the effect of uncertain time-delay, authors have intentionally introduced a preselected time-delay in the feedback circuit and re-optimized to stabilize the static equilibrium of the delayed system. Numerical simulations performed in MATLAB SIMULINK confirm the results of the theoretical analysis obtained.

1 Introduction Self-excited vibration is a common phenomenon in many physical systems like friction-induced vibration (in vehicle clutches and brakes, vehicle–bridge interaction) and flow-induced vibration (circular wood saws, in machining, fluid-conveying pipelines). Self-excited vibration is caused due to an intrinsic, state-dependent nonlinear force, and its sustenance requires no external excitation. A phenomenological mathematical model of such oscillations includes a second-order oscillator with a nonlinear damping function producing linear negative damping in the phase space around an unstable equilibrium and positive nonlinear damping far away from the equilibrium. Van der Pol and Rayleigh oscillators are the two widely stu
