Abstract

A decentralized design procedure is proposed for the control design for flexible structures. The structure to be controlled is decomposed into several substructures by using a natural decomposition called substructuring decomposition. For each substructure, a subcontroller is designed by using the linear quadratic optimal control theory. Then, a controller synthesis scheme called Substructural Controller Synthesis (SCS) is used to assemble the subcontrollers into a system controller, which is to be used to control the whole structure. A plane truss example is used to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
