Optimal joint placement and modal disparity in control of flexible structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Joints with variable stiffness are used to introduce modal disparity in a frame structure. The joint stiffness can be set at two distinct values and thus the structure can be characterized by two stiffness states. The placement of a small number of these joints on the structure is optimized to achieve a maximum measure of modal disparity. This allows the migration of vibration energy from modes that are not controlled to modes that are, and facilitates the design of simpler and less expensive controllers. An example 3D frame is used for illustration. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملA Topology Optimization Problem in Control of Structures Using Modal Disparity
Modal disparity and a topology optimization problem seeking to maximize this disparity are introduced, with the goal of developing a new methodology for control of vibration in flexible structures. Modal disparity is generated in a structure by the application of external forces that vary the stiffness of the structure. When the forces are switched on and off and, as a result, the structure is ...
