Dynamics and control of structures: A modal approach

From MaRDI portal





The monograph, consisting of Preface, Part 1 Dynamics (Chapters 1-7), Part 2 Control (Chapters 8-10), 2 Appendices, References and Index, introduces the methods of structural dynamics (modal properties, modal models) to structural control analysis and design, and incorporates the control concepts and methods (system norms, controllability and observability) in structural dynamics analysis. In Part 1 the concept of flexible structure is defined and structural models are discussed in detail. These models are derived from the laws of physics, finite element codes and structural test data. Controllability and observability of structures are introduced. The controllability and observability Gramians and the balanced system representation are included. The systems \(H_2, H_{\infty}\) and Hankel norms are defined, and their properties are presented. Model reduction is described in modal coordinates in terms of \(H_2, H_{\infty}\) and Hankel norms. The choice of sensor and actuator locations achieving the prescribed degree of controllability and observability is introduced. The concept of uniformly balanced system is given. The problem of actuator and sensor placement for structural testing and control is considered. The presented methods allow the almost-optimal location of actuators and sensors for large structures. In Part 2 the design of dissipative controllers, LQG controller design and the analysis and design of \(H_{\infty}\) and \(H_2\) controllers are described. Appendix 1 includes Matlab codes for selected methods and procedures. Appendix 2 contains Matlab codes for two models of physical systems. The book is an excellent clearly written up-to-date exposition which should serve to graduate students and researchers as a bridge between structural and control engineering.
