\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:introduction}
There is an increasing need to reduce the undesirable vibration of sensitive equipment in many different fields such as in aerospace industry \cite{hanieh03_activ_stewar,hauge04_sensor_contr_space_based_six,souleille18_concep_activ_mount_space_applic}, semi conductor industry \cite{yoshioka01_activ_microv_isolat_system_hi}, microscopy \cite{lan08_activ_vibrat_isolat_long_range,fleming15_low_order_dampin_track_contr}, gravitational wave detectors \cite{matichard15_seism_isolat_advan_ligo} and particles accelerators \cite{collette10_activ_quadr_stabil_futur_linear_partic_collid,dehaeze18_sampl_stabil_for_tomog_exper}.
A common method to reduce vibration is to mount the sensitive equipment on a suspended platform which attenuates the vibrations above the frequency of the suspension modes \cite{reilly06_critic,poel10_explor_activ_hard_mount_vibrat}. \par
In order to further decrease the residual vibrations, active damping can be used for reducing the magnification of the response in the vicinity of the resonances \cite{collette11_review_activ_vibrat_isolat_strat}.
Many active damping techniques have been developed over the years such as Positive Position Feedback (PPF) \cite{lin06_distur_atten_precis_hexap_point,fanson90_posit_posit_feedb_contr_large_space_struc}, Integral Force Feedback (IFF) \cite{preumont91_activ} and Direct Velocity Feedback (DVF) \cite{karnopp74_vibrat_contr_using_semi_activ_force_gener,serrand00_multic_feedb_contr_isolat_base_excit_vibrat,preumont02_force_feedb_versus_accel_feedb}. \par
In \cite{preumont92_activ_dampin_by_local_force}, the IFF control scheme has been proposed, where a force sensor, a force actuator and an integral controller are used to directly augment the damping of a mechanical system.
When the force sensor is collocated with the actuator, the open-loop transfer function has alternating poles and zeros which facilitate to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system \cite{preumont02_force_feedb_versus_accel_feedb}.
It was latter shown that this property holds for multiple collated actuator/sensor pairs \cite{preumont08_trans_zeros_struc_contr_with}. \par
The main advantages of IFF over other active damping techniques are the guaranteed stability even in presence of flexible dynamics, good performances and robustness properties \cite{preumont02_force_feedb_versus_accel_feedb}. \par
Several improvements of the classical IFF have been proposed, such as adding a feed-through term to increase the achievable damping \cite{teo15_optim_integ_force_feedb_activ_vibrat_contr} or adding an high pass filter to recover the loss of compliance at low frequency \cite{chesne16_enhan_dampin_flexib_struc_using_force_feedb}.
Recently, an \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\) optimization criterion has been used to derive optimal gains for the IFF controller \cite{zhao19_optim_integ_force_feedb_contr}. \par
However, when the platform is rotating, gyroscopic effects alter the system dynamics and IFF cannot be applied as is.
The purpose of this paper is to study how the IFF strategy can be adapted to deal with these gyroscopic effects. \par
The paper is structured as follows.
Section \ref{sec:dynamics} presents a simple model of a rotating suspended platform that will be used throughout this study.
Section \ref{sec:iff} explains how the unconditional stability of IFF is lost due to gyroscopic effects induced by the rotation.
Section \ref{sec:iff_hpf} suggests a simple modification of the control law such that damping can be added to the suspension modes in a robust way.
Section \ref{sec:iff_kp} proposes to add springs in parallel with the force sensors to regain the unconditional stability of IFF.
Section \ref{sec:comparison} compares both proposed modifications to the classical IFF in terms of damping authority and closed-loop system behavior.
