This paper explores a composite hierarchical antidisturbance control (CHADC) scheme for the resonance vibration suppression of a high-speed rotor system supported by active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in the magnetically suspended double-gimbal control moment gyroscope (MSDGCMG). The rotor dynamics with a fictitious integral term is introduced to meet the steady-state performance requirements. Resonance disturbances caused by harmonic drive transmission and gyroscopic torque disturbances caused by gimbal motions are also analyzed. The augmented composite AMB system with two types of disturbances and nonlinear electromagnetic dynamics is developed. Then, a disturbance observer is constructed and a stability analysis of the closed-loop system is performed using a Lyapunov approach. Simulation results show that the exogenous disturbance can be estimated and compensated with the appropriate control parameters. Rotor run-up experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has a good performance for disturbance rejection of harmonic drive resonance vibrations under the excitation of coupling torques. The gyroscopic torque disturbances with the bounded norm can also be attenuated effectively.
