Course description

An overall insight of the modeling and control of active structures is given within the course. The terms and definitions as well as potential fields of application are introduced. For the purpose of the controller design for active structural control, the basics of the control theory are introduced: development of linear time invariant models, representation of linear differential equations systems in the state-space form, controllability, observability and stability conditions of control systems. The parallel description of the modeling methods in structural mechanics enables the students to understand the application of control approaches. For actuation/sensing purposes multifunctional active materials (piezo ceramics) are introduced as well as the basics of the numerical model development for structures with active materials. Control methods include time-continuous and discrete-time controllers in the state space for multiple-input multiple-output systems, as well as methods of the classical control theory for single-input single output systems. Differences and analogies between continuous and discrete time control systems are specified and highlighted on the basis of a pole placement method. Closed-loop controller design for active structures is explained. Different application examples and problem solutions show the feasibility and importance of the control methods for structural development. Within this course the students learn computer aided controller design and simulation using Matlab/Simulink software. Students will implement the acquired knowledge in the framework of a seminar paper related to the controller design supported by Matlab Software.

Learning goals/Competences
Extended knowledge of adaptive mechanical systems, advanced control methods and their application to active control of structures

Content
Advanced methods for control of adaptive mechanical systems are introduced in the course. Introduction involves recapitulation of fundamentals of  active structural control and extension to advanced control. In addition to numerical modelling using the finite element approach, the system identification is explained as an experimental approach. Theoretical backgrounds of the experimental structural modal analysis are introduced as well as the terms and definitions used in signal processing. Experimental modal analysis is explained using the Fast Fourier Transform. Advanced closed loop control methods involving optimal discrete-time control, introduction of additional dynamic for the compensation of periodic excitations and  basic adaptive control algorithms are explained and pragmatically applied for solving problems of vibration suppression in civil and mechanical engineering.

Course description
The course presents an overall insight in the modeling and control of active structures and systems. Basic terms and definitions are introduced along with presentation of the potential application fields. For the purpose of the controller design for active structural control, the basics of the control theory are introduced: development of linear time invariant models, representation of linear differential equations systems in the state-space form, controllability, observability and stability conditions of control systems.

Closed-loop controller design for active structures is explained. Different application examples and problem solutions will show the feasibility and importance of the active structural systems development. The students also get insight into basics of active structural health monitoring. Within this course the students learn computer aided controller design and simulation using Matlab/Simulink software.
