Abstract

This paper outlines an approach for active control of structures based on the identification of a linear difference equation to describe the control loop and the design of a discrete-time control algorithm based on this identified model. The design of an active control algorithm is based on two main steps: (i) To formulate and identify a mathematical model of the closed loop including the structure and the instrumentation required to perform the feedback control operation and (ii) to define a strategy or objective in such a way that the control will make the model (and consequently the structure) to reach the objective.
