Active control of structural response (ACSR) has been widely used to suppress helicopter fuselage vibration due to its advantages. However, ACSR, by taking the vibration responses at target measurement points as the active control objective, is a local vibration control method for the fuselage. In this paper, an active global vibration control (AGVC) method for the fuselage by taking the vibratory loads transmitting to the fuselage through gearbox struts as the active control objective is proposed. By installing piezoelectric stack actuators on a gearbox strut, the active strut is formed and its electromechanical coupling equation of motion is derived. The AGVC model, algorithm, convergence, and system for a dynamically similar frame structure of a helicopter fuselage are presented. The simulation results indicate that AGVC can suppress the global vibration of the fuselage under the excitation of the rotor vibratory loads more effectively with faster convergence speed than ACSR. The vibration at the target measurement points in ACSR can be effectively reduced, but the control effect at other positions is not satisfied, and even the vibration at some positions is larger than that in control off.
