The authors present a complete rationale for solving problems of vibration, from experimental structural characterization to controller implementation. In reaching this objective they address the following steps: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- experimental identification of the dynamic model of the structure;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- optimal placement of sensors and actuators;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- formulation of control constraints in terms of controller frequency response shape, based on the specification and characteristics of sensors and actuators;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- controller design and simulation; and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- controller implementation and rapid prototyping.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe experimental identification procedure is based on a gray-box approach tailored to the estimation of modal parameters of large-scale flexible structures. The actuator\/sensor placement algorithm maximizes a modal controllability index so as to improve the effectiveness of the control action. Taking into account the physical limitations of sensors and actuators, the controller is chosen as a stable, band-pass MIMO system resulting from the closed-form solution of a robust control problem. The closed-form solution is particularly attractive for large-scale control systems, overcoming possible numerical problems caused by ill-conditioned solutions. Experimental results on an aeronautical stiffened skin panel are presented using rapid-prototyping hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdaptive Control of Flexible Structures\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to academics and practising engineers working on vibration-reduction problems in aerospace and other transportation environments; to civil engineers concerned with seismic vibration in buildings; and to graduate students taking courses in mechanical, aeronautical and control engineering, particularly when involved with smart structures and actuators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274057605271,"sku":"9781447157076","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781447157076.webp?v=1769238624","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/active-control-of-flexible-structures-from-modeling-to-implementation-9781447157076","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
