Abstract: The purpose of this two-part work is to apply active mode localization techniques to distributed parameter systems where control actuator and sensor placement is a limiting factor. In this ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the transmission of unwanted vibrations in flexible structures by actively minimizing dynamic forces seen at critical locations within the structure. An adaptive truss serves ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to apply feedback control to a physical system in order to localize structural vibration. This is accomplished using an eigenstructure placement technique called ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on developing a full-state observer that can be used to obtain unmeasurable reaction forces in a flexible structure. In the context of modal truncation of a distributed ...
