Reduced-order LQG control of a Timoshenko beam model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a computational approach for the construction of reducedorder controllers for the Timoshenko beam model. By means of a space discretization of the Timoshenko equations, we obtain a large-scale, finite-dimensional dynamical system, for which we compute an LQG controller for closed-loop stabilization. The solutions of the algebraic Riccati equations characterizing the LQG controller are then used to construct a balancing transformation which allows the dimensional reduction of the large-scale dynamic compensator. We present numerical tests assessing the stability and performance of the proposed approach.

Neutralization of external stimuli in dynamic systems has the major role in health, life, and function of the system. Today, dynamic systems are exposed to unpredicted factors. If the factors are not considered, it will lead to irreparable damages in energy consumption and manufacturing systems. Continuous systems such as beams, plates, shells, and panels that have many applications in differen...
