STRUCTURAL VIBRATION CONTROLLER FOR SMART STRUCTURES 22

 INTRODUCTION
• Structural vibrations are inevitable
and mostly undesirable.
• It is necessary to keep them with
specified limits.
• Smart Structures play a pivotal
role in the control and damping of
structural vibration.

 RESONANT CONTROLLERS FOR
SMART STRUCTURES
 This paper proposes a special type of co-located feedback controllers
for smart structures.

 The controller consists of parallel combinations of high-Q resonant

circuits in which each resonant circuit is tuned to a pole.

 The experimental setup (one sensor-actuator pair + one actuator for

disturbance, beam) is implemented in dSPACE platform.
