This paper presents the application of a preview control using an explicit receding
horizon control (ERHC) of an electrodynamic shaker. The characteristics of a shaking system
are considered to be nonlinear and the influence of the test piece. In order to compensation for
this influence, the disturbance force compensator is employed. Furthermore, since the tracking
performance for the reference signal is improved, the preview controller is introduced to a
two-degree-of-freedom controller. The preview control based on ERHC is designed using Multi-
Parametric Toolbox. Finally, the control performance is confirmed by experiments conducted
using actual equipment. The good tracking performance is obtained in order to considering the
preview information of the reference signal.
