The work presented here proposes a method to rank the efficiency of the actuators and sensors for the attenuation of excited structural modes. Aeroelastic wing designed with multiple control surfaces and equipped with sensors at different locations is used as a test case. A unifying theme to this work is the application of Hankel Singular Values (HSV), an analytical approach applied to the experimental data conducted during the Ground Vibrational (GVT) and Wind Tunnel (WT) tests. Modal information gathered from experimental results is used to define actuator/sensor relationships, once the mode of interest is decided then the sensor and actuator location is determined to effectively cater the structural vibrations, it paves the way for the design of specific performance metrics. The research will add redundancy to the available set of instrumentation by paving the way for the dedicated use of control surface for the stable flight mechanics or flight dynamics instability. The results presented here are supported by Power Spectral Densities (PSD’s) and band pass filters.
