Abstract:
This paper presents the algorithm for the design of a controlled structure in which the structural and control systems are designed simultaneously. The problem is posed as an optimization problem and solved by using a nonlinear optimization method. The control approach selected in this paper uses the H2-norm LQG compensator with the H?-norm as a constraint. The objective function selected for this problem is the weight of the structure and constraints are imposed on the structural frequencies, closed-loop damping, a minimum bound on the H2-norm and the dB gain separation between closed-loop and open-loop singular values at a prescribed frequency. The design variables are the cross-sectional areas of the structure and different weighting matrices of the control design. The numerical results are presented for a cantilevered box beam idealized with rod elements.
