Abstract

ABSTRACT Wave propagation in a one-dimensional structure is analyzed. Based on this wave propagation analysis, a control system for the structure is developed. The purpose of the control system is to improve the dynamic response of the structure to an external force. It is shown that the control system can completely isolate a section of the structure from disturbances caused by the external force, or it can add damping to the structure. The effects of two types of errors on the control system are considered. The example given here illustrates the potential importance of control systems based on wave propagation concepts and raises many issues that are involved in the development of such control systems.
