This text is an introduction to the feedback control of lightly
damped flexible structures; the emphasis is placed on basic issues
such as actuator and sensor selection, placement and dynamics, and
actual implementation for solving practical problems. The book
consists of 11 chapters; in chapters 2 to 5, the open-loop transfer
functions of various active structures are derived from their
constitutive equations; the discussion includes a truss and
sandwich beams and plates with embedded piezoelectric actuators and
sensors. The virtues of collocated actuator-sensor configurations
are pointed out and used to develop active damping with guaranteed
stability. Chapters 6 to 8 are devoted to the model-based control
of SISO systems; optimal control is developed graphically using the
symmetric root locus; the gain-phase relationship is discussed and
the design tradeoffs are explained in the frequency domain. The
issues of robustness with respect to the parametric uncertainty and
the spillover instability are examined. After two short chapters on
controllability (ch. 9) and stability (ch. 10), the book concludes
with a set of applications to active damping and precision
positioning of a set of aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering
structures. The book is intended for structural engineers who want
to acquire some background in vibration control; it can be used as
a textbook for a graduate course on vibration control or active
structures. The text is supplemented with 98 problems.
