In the starting and stopping stage of hydraulic vibration hammer, when the vibration frequency of the vibration hammer reaches the natural frequency of the soil, the vibration hammer and soil will appear strong vibration phenomenon, which has a great impact on the working life and safety performance of the vibration hammer. In order to eliminate the resonance phenomenon at this stage, the control signal output program of hydraulic vibration hammer was designed in LabVIEW; the soft start mode of vibration hammer was adopted, and the comparative experiments were set up to verify the feasibility of the control method. The experimental results show that the proposed soft start method can be used to attenuate the resonance phenomenon in the start-stop phase of the hydraulic vibration hammer.
