This text is an introduction to the dynamics of active structures and to the feedback control of lightly damped flexible structures; the emphasis is placed on basic issues and simple control strategies that work.
Now in its third edition, more chapters have been added, and comments and feedback from readers have been taken into account, while at the same time the unique premise of bridging the gap between structure and control has remained. Many examples and problems bring the subject to life and take the audience from theory to practice.

Produktbeschreibung
This text is an introduction to the dynamics of active structures and to the feedback control of lightly damped flexible structures; the emphasis is placed on basic issues and simple control strategies that work.

Now in its third edition, more chapters have been added, and comments and feedback from readers have been taken into account, while at the same time the unique premise of bridging the gap between structure and control has remained. Many examples and problems bring the subject to life and take the audience from theory to practice.

The book has chapters dealing with some concepts in structural dynamics; electromagnetic and piezoelectric transducers; piezoelectric beam, plate and truss; passive damping with piezoelectric transducers; collocated versus non-collocated control; active damping with collocated systems; vibration isolation; state space approach; analysis and synthesis in the frequency domain; optimal control; controllability and observability; stability; applications; tendon control of cable structures; active control of large telescopes; and semi-active control. The book concludes with an exhaustive bibliography and index.

This book is intended for structural engineers who want to acquire some background in vibration control; it can be used as a textbook for a graduate course on vibration control or active structures.

A solutions manual is available through the publisher to teachers using this book as a textbook.

Rezensionen
From the second edition: "This is a very useful book for graduate students, researchers and professionals interested in strucutrasl control. I highly recommend it." (AIAA Journal, 41:3)
From the reviews of the third edition:

"The third edition of the textbook should serve as an outstanding updated reference book for structural engineers, automation professionals, students, and also for general readers interested in this emerging subject." (Lubomír Bakule, zbMATH, Vol. 1273, 2013)

From the second edition:

"This is a very useful book for graduate students, researchers and professionals interested in strucutrasl control. I highly recommend it."
(AIAA Journal, 41:3)
`The book is highly recommended to students, practising structural engineers and to researchers who are interested in vibration control and active structures.'
Zentralblatt MATH, 910 (1999)
`The book is written in a very easy and interesting style and has a good set of problems at the end of each chapter. This reviewer enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it for any graduate course on control of structures. This book occupies a unique place in the set of references in this important field.'
Mechatronics, 10 (2000)
