Description:
Recent research efforts have led to the development of simultaneous structural/control system design procedures. Absent in any of the work is the time delay present in the control system sensors and actuators and the computational time delay for synthesizing actuator commands from sensor measurements. Madden has shown that the time delay present in the control system can have profound effects on the resulting system performance and stability regardless of its source. In addition, many of the simultaneous structural/control system design procedures have used colocated sensors and actuators for implementation of the control system. In actual practice, colocation in not always possible. The issue of stability degradation when using noncolocated sensor and actuators was raised. The integrated structural/control system design procedure is extended to include the effects of time lag and noncolocation of sensors and actuators on the resulting optimum designs.
