Identification and Control of Mechanical Systems [Paperback]

This 2001 book discusses both theory and applications in the control of vibrating systems.The control of vibrating systems is a significant issue in the design of aircraft, spacecraft, bridges, and high-rise buildings. This book discusses the control of vibrating systems, integrating structural dynamics, vibration analysis, modern control, and system identification. Integrating these subjects is essential in dealing with vibration control problems. The book begins with a review of basic mathematics. Chapters then cover recent developments in aerospace control and identification theory, including virtual passive control, observer and state-space identification, and data-based controller synthesis. This practical text will be useful for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering, as well as for practicing engineers.The control of vibrating systems is a significant issue in the design of aircraft, spacecraft, bridges, and high-rise buildings.
