Simulation Studies and Control of Membrane Vibration in Air Sampling Pumps

Abstract

The manuscript presents numerical results of the vibrations of the membrane of a low-power sampling pump for quality assurance of air around industrial parks. We consider a three-dimensional membrane undergoing the influences of its materials and vibration amplitudes. Four materials are used to investigate with the membrane’s amplitude varied in the range of 2-8 mm. The results provide an optimal option for the selected pump. Moreover, we also introduce a PID controller for this pump.
