Abstract

Boundary conditions Centralized control Distributed control Flexible structures Frequency Hydraulic actuators Mechanical engineering Open loop systems Sensor systems Shape control
Based upon the modified finite element - transfer matrix method [1], this paper presents a technique for reduced modeling of flexible structures for decentralized control. The modeling decisions are carried out at (finite-) elemental level, and are dictated by control objectives. A simply supported beam with two sets of actuators and sensors (linear force actuator and linear position and velocity sensors) is considered for illustration. In this case, it is conjectured that the decentrally controlled closed loop system is guaranteed to be at least marginally stable.
