Decentralized optimal control of large flexible structures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5397363

This paper studies the problem of controlling large flexible structures by using decentralized feedback control. The proposed algorithm is initially applied to the control of a flexible beam. Two independent forces are applied at each tip of the beam. One displacement sensor and one velocity sensor are colocated with each force actuator. Computer simulations indicate that the decentralized feedback is effective in suppressing the structural vibrations of the beam.
