Theory and Experiments

Vibration is a natural phenomenon that occurs in a variety of engineering systems. In many circumstances, vibration greatly affects the nature of engineering design as it often dictates limiting factors in the performance of the system. The conventional treatment is to redesign the system or to use passive damping. The former could be a costly exercise, while the latter is only effective at higher frequencies. Active control techniques have emerged as viable technologies to fill this low-frequency gap. This book is concerned with the study of feedback controllers for vibration control of flexible structures, with a view to minimizing vibration over the entire body of the structure.
The book introduces a variety of flexible structures such as beams, strings, and plates with specific boundary conditions, and explains in detail how a spatially distributed model of such systems can be obtained. It addresses the problems of model reduction and model correction for spatially distributed systems of high orders, and goes on to extend robust control techniques such as H-infinity and H2 control design methodologies to spatially distributed systems arising in active vibration control problems. It also addresses other important topics, such as actuator and sensor placement for flexible systems, and system identification for flexible structures with irregular boundary conditions. The text contains numerous examples, and experimental results obtained from laboratory-level apparatus, with details of how similar test beds may be built.

"As far as the reviewer knows, there is no other book which dealt with both vibration and spatial control. He thinks this book will get much attention from the researchers in the intelligence technology, not only from the control side but also especially from the solid mechanics side."

"The authors are to be commended for including experimental results to compare with the theoretical models that have been developed, and for the practical implementation of several of their control schemes ... For readers with a control background requiring a self contained discussion of active vibration control, 'Spatial Control of Vibration' would be a good book to read."
