Excerpt from the Book
1. Introduction
In order to decrease the cross-sectional dimensions of the structures, improve dynamic performance and operating efficiency, lightweight products and materials were employed by many designers. However, when the structures become flexible, the harmful effects of unwanted vibration can be seen from structures, they are becoming more susceptible.
The problem is extremely worse when they operate at or near their natural frequencies or when they are excited by disturbances that coincide with their natural frequencies [1]. Modal control has become the best choice for vibration control engineers to suppress the vibration of flexible structures for many years. In general, modal analysis and control refer to the procedure of decomposing the dynamic equations of mechanical system into modal coordinates and designing the control system in this modal coordinate system [2]. It extracts the interested mode signal from the structural response. The engineer can design the controller in the modal domain and control a single degree-of-freedom oscillator in the similar way [3]. There are three main modal control methods that can be found in the literature for controlling multi-modes vibration in flexible structures: independent modal space control (IMSC), resonant control and positive position feedback (PPF) control.
