..., and future ones unlocked by the proposed approach, will significantly enrich the research in the community of DSS and structural vibrations. In particular, the proposed approach allows performing analysis of causality, controllability, and observability using much reduced knowledge of the structure, thus...

...Xianmin Zhang; Arthur G. Erdman The optimal placement of sensors and actuators in active vibration control of flexible linkage mechanisms is studied. First, the vibration control model of the flexible mechanism is introduced. Second, based on the concept of the controllability and the observability...

...W. Chang; Senthil V. Gopinathan; V. V. Varadan; V. K. Varadan This paper presents a model reduction method and uncertainty modeling for the design of a low-order H ∞ robust controller for suppression of smart panel vibration. A smart panel with collocated piezoceramic actuators and sensors...
