Numerical approach for partial eigenstructure assignment problems in singular vibrating structure using active control

Abstract

In the paper, the partial eigenstructure assignment problems are investigated using acceleration–velocity–displacement active control in a singular vibrating structure. The problems are transformed into solving matrix equations using the receptance matrix method. Iterative sequences are constructed, and the iterative feasibility is presented for solving the matrix equations. The partial eigenvectors of the closed-loop system are reassigned by imposing modal constraints. An algorithm is proposed to get numerical solutions of the derived matrix equations. The initial value condition is discussed to obtain the minimum norm solution of the partial eigenstructure assignment problems. The designed acceleration–velocity–displacement active control can solve the partial eigenstructure assignment problems depending only on original vibrating structure information. The proposed numerical algorithm can obtain the minimum norms of controller gain, which implies minimum energy consumption. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Partial eigenstructure assignment for descriptor high-order linear systems via proportional plus derivative state feedback: A parametric approach

“…In the problem of PESA of normal systems, some achievements have been made in the study of first-order, second-order, and high-order systems (Cai et al, 2012; Gu et al, 2021; Xu and Qian, 2008; Zhang et al, 2014, 2016). Recently, Yu et al (2022a, 2022b, 2022c) have deeply studied the PESA problem of various control systems and proposed a controller calculation algorithm with the minimum norm and robust stability. Although the above achievements are fruitful, the research on descriptor systems is still relatively few.…”

A new general method for assigning frequencies with low spillover through structural modifications

“…In active control, spillover can be easily avoided, as manifested in the literature by the sufficient and necessary conditions 25 to ensure that the unassigned eigenvalues remain unchanged. Although an active control method can avoid spillover of a structure, its use requires high cost and high technical requirements, 26,27,28 which becomes infeasible for structures with a large number of degrees-of-freedom and continuous structures. In contrast, passive control in the form of structural modifications is always stable, as long as some simple and easy-to-satisfy requirements are met (concerning the definiteness of the system matrices).…”
