Abstract: In our consideration, a comparison between four different types of controllers for suppression the vibrations of the cantilever beam excited by an external force is carried out. Those four types are the linear velocity feedback control, the cubic velocity feedback control, the non-linear saturation controller (NSC) and the positive position feedback (PPF) controller. The suitable type is the PPF controller for suppression the vibrations of the cantilever beam. The approximate solution obtained up to the first approximation by using the multiple scale method. The PPF controller effectiveness is studied on the system. We used frequency-response equations to investigate the stability of a cantilever beam. We notified that, there is a good agreement between the analytical solution and the numerical solution.
Keywords: Cantilever beam; cubic velocity feedback control; linear velocity feedback control; non-linear saturation controller (NSC); positive position feedback (PPF) controller
Many types of controllers are used for suppressing the vibrations of different non-linear dynamical systems such that, negative linear velocity feedback, negative cubic velocity feedback, non-linear saturation controllers (NSC), non-linear Integral Positive Position Feedback Controllers (NIPPF), the Integral resonant controllers (IRC) and time delay control. The technique of multiple time scales used to investigate the micro-beams non-linear vibrations for two different resonance cases (super-harmonic and harmonic resonances). From this investigation, there is a clear effect of the boundary conditions on the micro-beams vibrations [1]. Recently, the vibrations of many vibrating systems [2–7] has been studied. Because of the time delayed and active controls springiness [8–14] in controlling many vibrating system, many papers used time delay for suppressing the vibrations of non-linear systems. Abdelhafez et al. [15] investigated the effectiveness of time delays when the positive position controllers are used for suppressing the vibrations of a self-exited non-linear beam. They notified that, the time margin depends on the overall delays of the system
Since the aim of most studies is to suppress the vibrations, one of the important types of control to vibrating systems is the PPF, which, described by a single degree of freedom system that, its frequency tuned to one of the structural frequencies. El-Ganaini et al. [17] presents the effectiveness of the PPF controller for decreasing the vibrations of nonlinear system at primary resonance and one-to-one internal resonance. They concluded that, PPF controller successful for systems that, has a small natural frequency. El-sayed et al. [18] achieved good results in decreasing the vibrations of vertical conveyor subject to external excitations by using PPF controllers such that, the vibrations in first mode reduced about 99.88% and the vibrations in the second mode reduced about 99.97% from its values without controllers. Ferrari et al. [19] offered an experimentally studying for the effectiveness of the PPF controllers on suspended the vibrations of sandwich plate. Niu et al. [20] realized the fractional-order positive position feedback (FOPPF) controller. They found that, the FOPPF controller gives better results comparing with PPF controller. Omidi et al. [21,22] presented three kinds of control to suppress the vibrations of vibrating systems such that, the Integral resonant controllers (IRC), PPF controllers and the non-linear Integral Positive Position feedback (NIPPF). The eminent type of decreasing the vibrations is NIPPF type. PPF controller and multimode modified positive position feedback (MMPPF) controllers are used for deceasing the vibrations of a flexible beam and a collocated structure, respectively [23,24].
In this article, four types of active vibrations controllers the linear velocity feedback control, the cubic velocity feedback control, NSC and PPF controller used to suppression the vibrations of a cantilever beam containing the cubic and fifth nonlinearity terms excited by an external force. The positive position feedback controller (PPF) is the suitable active control type for decreasing the cantilever beam’s vibrations. The approximate solution obtained applying the method of multiple scales up to first approximation. The stability of the cantilever beam investigated at the simultaneous resonance conditions (1:1 internal and primary). The behavior of the cantilever beam without and with PPF controller is simulated numerically. The influence of some chosen coefficient is illustrated numerically. The rapprochement between numeric and analytic solution is offered.

2.1 Time History with Numerical Simulation
Numerically, the cantilever beam’s differential Eq. (1) was studied using Runge-Kutta 4th order method at the worst resonance case (One-to-one internal and primary resonance) at the following values of parameters:
At this study, we compare between four different types of controllers for suppressing the vibration of a cantilever beam. Fig. 2 presents the uncontrolled cantilever beam before using any type of controllers at the primary resonance case. In Fig. 3, we used two types of controllers to decrease the vibration of the system. The first type, is a negative cubic velocity feedback control which decreasing the vibration of the system to reach 0.13, so, the effectiveness of the control (Ea = amplitude of uncontrolled system/amplitude of controlled system) equal one as shown in Fig. 3a. The second type, is a negative linear velocity feedback control which decreasing the vibration of the system to reach 0.007, so, the effectiveness of the control Ea = 21 as shown in Fig. 3b. Fig. 4 illustrates the effectiveness of the non-linear saturation controller (NSC) on the cantilever beam. From this figure, we concluded that, the NSC controller minimized the vibration to reach 0.07 which means that Ea = 2. The positive position feedback controller (PPF) is the best type of controllers for suppressing the vibrations of the cantilever beam where it reduced the vibrations to 0.0006 and Ea = 250 as shown in Fig. 5. The solid lines elucidated the numerical solution of the main system before and after using the PPF controller while, dash lines elucidated the amplitude adjustments
According to the results that we obtained from Fig. 5, Which shows that the most appropriate controller is the PPF controller so we will study the main system after activating the PPF control. To get the approximate solution up to the first approximation, we applied the method of multiple scales [25,26] as the following:

4.1 Influence of the Nonlinear Parameters
In the presence of the PPF controller, we studied the effectiveness of increases of all nonlinear parameters on the main system. The amplitude of the main system change either in decreasing or in increasing but this effect is very small so it do not appear clearly. For the nonlinear parameters
In this paper, we used four different types of active controllers for suppression the vibrations of the cantilever beam excited by an external force. Those four types are the linear velocity feedback control, the cubic velocity feedback control, the non-linear saturation controller (NSC) and the positive position feedback (PPF) controller. The best active control type for suppression the vibrations of the cantilever beam at the primary resonance case is the positive position feedback controller PPF as the following reasons:
i) Its effectiveness Ea equal 250 which more than the effectiveness of any type of controllers used to control the vibrating cantilever beam in this study.
ii) It is a suitable for small natural frequencies as the bandwidth of the vibration reduction increases.
Farther more, the steady state amplitude is monotonic increasing function on the external excitation force. The bandwidth of the vibration reduction increases for increasing values of the control signal
