An Experimental Analysis in Modern Modal Control.

Abstract

Experimental demonstration of modern modal control of a flexible clamped-clamped beam in bending was accomplished. Pole placement techniques in conjunction with a Leuenberger Observer were used for controller development. Available microcomputer computational capabilities drove the reduced order model to a two mode representation. The controllers, designed with varying degrees of robustness, demonstrated the limitations of reduced order controllers in even the simplest of systems. Sensor and actuator position are demonstrated to be of paramount importance in the modern controller LQ design.
