Estimation and Control of Distributed Models for Certain Elastic Systems Arising in Large Space Structures.
Abstract
This project is to study the estimation and control of elastic systems composed of beams and plates in order to develop efficient and accurate estimation and control algorithms. Results have been obtained for the estimation in static beams and plates, control and location of actuators for static beams and plates, and identifiability for discrete approximations of second order elliptic boundary value problems. Currently testing codes are being developed for numerical experimentation for estimation of damping and elastic coefficients in dynamic linear plate models, estimation of boundary parameters for second order elliptic problems, estimation of elastic coefficients in cantilevered beams using perturbed boundary conditions, optimal location of actuators for the control of beams, and control of plates through forces at points and forces distributed over sets of small measure and curves. The plan is to next investigate boundary control and estimation, estimation and control in structures, use of friction as an active control, and parallelization of estimation and control algorithms.
