This paper focuses on the design of distributed control related to distributed mechanical systems. The sensors and actuators are assumed to be numerous and periodically distributed. The problem addressed in this paper is: 'Can we find a way to approximate an optimal control law with a distributed electronic circuit for vibration reduction?'. Solutions to this problem are proposed in the framework of vibration control using piezoelectric actuators and sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
