Modal Control of Truss Structure : Vibration Modal Control Using the Grouping Actuators

Abstract

This paper proposes a new type grouping actuation method based on a combination of inertial force type actuator and moment type actuator. Moreover, a control system is build using the concerned actuation method and previously defined distributed parameter modal sensor. As an advantage of the modal control, a simple control method is used for vibration control of a high-rise frame structure. The aim of this research is to develop new type sensor, actuator and control method using a smart structure.
