Decentralized Controller Design for Smart Structural Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we show how to design decentralized controllers for smart structural systems to achieve multiple objectives associated with performances defined by H2 or H∞ norm, robust stability for model uncertainty, and limited actuator authority. the decentralized controller is designed in a sequential procedure for each control loop by solving synthesis conditions represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). the simultaneous design of decentralized controller, formulated as a non-convex minimization problem, is also discussed. the proposed design method was experimentally tested on a three-mass structure with three control loops.
