Abstract: This paper proposes an experimental method of controlling the vibration of a flexible structure using Hinfinity control theory. For this purpose, two reduced-order lumped-mass models, expressed by 5-DOF systems each, are derived. These models are derived by considering the five vibration modes along the x- and y-direction respectively and neglecting all the other higher frequency modes. Neglected vibration modes are regarded as unstructured uncertainties and taken care of during the design process. The dynamic output feedback controller is designed based on the reduced order model and the approximate knowledge of the unmodeled system uncertainties. The first five vibration modes of the structure along the x- and y-directions are well suppressed using two newly proposed actuators (iynamic vibration absorbers) without any spill over proble m. The control algorithm is verified through simulation and experimental studies. Copyright © 2002 IFAC Key Words : Flexible Structure, Vibration Control, Dynamic Absorber, Modeling, Robust Control

control algorithm. Many authors (Cui and Nonami, 1993, Nishimura, 1999) have reported the H-infinity based control scheme to reduce vibration. To the author's knowledge, most of the active protective scheme for civil structures are concerned with the first few modes (say below three modes). This is not only because the first few modes usually dominate structure defonnations, but because of some technical difficulties such as modeling and robustness issues. However, as the tendency of constructing more reliable and higher structures increases, it becom:s insufficient to consider the first mode only, since the vibration of higher modes also raises problems of structural strength. In most of the research work, the reduced order model is derived for controller design by considering the bending modes of the structure along one direction. However, a building-like structure may have bending modes along the Ji- and y-
INTRODUCTION

In recent years, attention has been made to reduce the vibration of various flexible structures such as vibratory platfonns, tall building, bridge tower structures etc (Seto 1992, Spencer and Sain, 1997, Merovitch. 1990, Wodek,1996, Seto, 1999, Crassisdis , 1994, Salas, 1998. Wei, 1992). The inherent damping of these structures is low and unable to withstand the vibration caused by disturbances like moderate earthquake motion or strong winds or even traffic flow . In this context, feedback control schemes are useful to produce sufficient control force for suppressing the vibration modes . Spencer and Sain (1997) have reported in detail the application of feedback control to a novel domain: civil structures especially buildings. However, the implementation of feedback control scheme in real structures may cause spill over instability due to the excitation of neglected high frequency vibration modes (Balas, 1978, Seto, 1992). As a result, the reliability of the structure may be severely damaged. So it is necessary to take a precautionary measure to avoid the spill over problem in the design stage itself. Also the suitable actuators and their placement are of great concern in implementing the control scheme. In this context, H-infinity based control is suitable for developing the

In this paper, attempt has been made to derive the two models of a scale building structure by considering its motion in the Ji-direction and the y-direction. These models are derived in physical state space where the states are directly measurable for implementing feedback scheme. Based on these two models, the H-infinity based controller is developed.

DERIVATIONOFREDUCED-ORDERMODELD

In this section, the reduced order model of a 15 story building structure, as shown in fig . I , is discussed. This model will be used for the purpose designing a feedback controller and simulation. The dimensions of the structure are indicated in the figure . The floor size is 200mm times 300mm and the thickness is 3mm. The radius of the pipe is 5 mm. Figure 2 shows the first to eighth mode shapes and the corresponding natural frequencies of the structure . In Fig .2, vibration modes 2,3,5,6 and 8 are concerned in the x-direction and 1,3,4,6 and 7 are in the y-direction. Modes 3 and 6 are common for both the directions, as these are torsional modes. In this study, we consider the first five modes to be controlled at both directions therefore a five-degree-of-freedom (5DOF) reduced' order model should be established along the x-direction and y-direction (by neglecting all the higher modes). Using these mode shapes, the model parameters are calculated. The details of the modeling procedure in physical state space for a general structure are discussed in (Seto, Doi and Ren, 1999, Kar" Seto and Doi, 2000, Seto and Mitsuta, 1992, Seto, Ren. and Doi, 1998).. Here a brief introduction of this procedure is introduced

if more controlled modes are concerned, unless large number of sensors or distributed sensors are used (Fuller and Elliott, 1990, Bai, and Shieh,1984). In view of this situation, it is considered in this research that if the concerned modes could be represented by a discrete model in physical domain, then the states could be directly measurable and the modal estimation such as "modal filter" and "inverse modal filter" used in modal space methods would be unnecessary.

First, Seto's Method for deriving a reduced order model is schematically presented by using a 5DOF model as an example. The feedback control methods of discrete systems have been well established in theory (for example, 4'-1erovitch, 1990), while actual implementation on distributed systems often presents some difficulties, especially when controlling multiple modes . The usually employed methods for controlling distributed structure are in modal state-space, which results in a simple system matrix in sacrifice of the convenience of measuring states directly. It is not easy to estimate state quantities in modal space accurately

The first five modes in both the directions, including bending and torsional modes, are of our concern.

Substituting Eq.(l) into Eq .(2) results in a matrix, 4>tJI, whose off-diagonal positions usually contain, though srnalI, non-zero values. A sensitivity analysis procedure is proposed here to modify the initial matrix 4> in order to make 4>4>T diagonal. Suppose there are p different non-zero components in the off-diagonal positions of the matrix 4>tJI resulted from Eq .(l). we define an error vector £ consistin~ of these components. namely

in which each error E; is a function of some modal shape components of matrix 4> . Suppose there are. in total, q independent modal shape components involved in Eq.(4). then we can write

...... points

Choose five modeling points on the structure, and assume proper lumped masses and stiffness at and between these points, a discrete model can be created. Figure 3 shows the 5 mass points of the reduced order model. Evidently, the modeling points should be able to reflect the motion of these five modes as welI as possible. The normalized modal vector components of the structure at the modeling points are presumedly defined as the mode vector components of the lumped 5DOF model as folIows,

where t/J is a new defined q x 1 vector consisting of 91j ( j = 1 - q. here the subscript j is only a sequence number and has nothing to do with the mode order or the position label). Our purpose is to modify these modal shape components tPj in order that the errors El approach zero. Define the modification vector of t/J as &P. which is to change the errOr vector from its initial value e to O. then we can start the correcting procedure from the following equation

The modification vector can be obtained directly from Eq.(6) using the generalized inverse matrix as follows .

where, D2 is a diagonal matrix whose nonzero diagonal elements are given by the square of natural frequencies of each mode. Equations (2) and (3) suggest that if the normalized modal matrix of a lumped parameter system could be obtained, the physical parameters of the system could then be dl!termined. Unfortunately, the directly obtained modal matrix from the FEM modal analysis data, as given in Eq.(l), is not guaranteed to satisfy Eq.(2), where both sides should be diagonal matrices.

In this section, the development of an H-infinity based control scheme is briefly discussed. In the present study, the objective is to design a dynamic output feedback controller based on the reduced order model to control its first five vibration modes and suppress the possible instability due to neglected modes. These objectives can be a(;hieved by solving a mixed sensitivity minimization problem in the framework of H-infinity optimal control (Cui. Nonami and Nishirnura.

The controller design by using the dynamic equation along the x-direction will be discussed in detail and the controller for the model in y-direction is similar in nature and thus omitted.

Wlx(s) and W 2z{s) are two weighting functions to shape the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity matrix. In this study. we have one control input and two measurable outputs in x direction. Define two filters WT,,=Wlx and WSr = diag( W 2x" W2.r) for the input and two outputs respectively. Note that WSr bounds sensitivity function and thus sets the disturbance rejection, and Wrz bounds the complimentary-sensitivity function and thus sets the suppression of measurement noise and uncertainty. Here attempt is made to design the H-infinity normed based control subject to these constraints. The state equations of the filters W rz • and WSr are defined as

where ~ V(J}) is the full order model. P; V(J}) is the reduced order model and 4. is the error function or multiplicative system uncertainty. In the H-infinity framework. (as the exact representation of 4. is difficult). a weighting function is selected to represent the upper envelope of the uncertainty. i.e., (18)

where c; (.) is the maximum singular value of (.). The multiplicative uncertainty for both the directions is shown in fig.6. These error functions are computed by using the frequency response data of actual and reduced order model. It has been mentioned earlier that five modes are considered to derive the reduced order model. So ideally. there must not be any sharp peak in the low frequency range. However, the actual system response is obtained experimentally and as a result some anti-resonance peaks appear in the low frequency range of the error function which can be neglected. This is because the anti-resonance peak does not affect the stability conditions. To represent the multiplicative uncertainty, the following filter is used for the x-direction model:

The frequency response plots of two filters are shown in Fig. 6. It is noticed that the second one does not satisfy the mathematical equation (18) strictly. Later on, it is shown that the controller based on this filter also gives satisfactory results. The reasons may be that the H-infinity based design approach considers the norm bounded uncertainty without any phase information. In this sense, it may result in some over design. So a trial and error procedure is necessary to select a suitable filter for obtaining implementable results (although it may not give logically conclusive results by not satisfying the strict mathematical equations). The weighting filter for y-direction is taken to be same as that of the x-directions.

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

In this section, the simulated results are verified through experiment. Figure 11 shows the experimental setup where the personal computer acts as a controller. The displacement of mass point 1 along the x-direction and mass point 2 along the y-direction are measured by two non-contact laser sensors. Although these laser sensors are useful for the purpose of experiment on a scale model, it may be difficult to use these sensors in actual application building control problem. However, these control schemes can be implemented in real structure by using commercially available velocity sensor.

The vibration control effects are evaluated by measuring the transfer function (compliance) of the structure under impulse excitation. The experiment is carried out for the x direction by giving an impulse input at mass point 1 and measuring the response at the same point. For the y-direction, an impulse is given at mass point 2 and the measurement has been made at the same point. Experimental frequency and time responses of the system are shown in figs. 13-14.

CONCLUSIONS

In this paper. an active control scheme has been designed to suppress the vibration of a flexible building like structure. Two reduced order models have been constructed along the x and y directions to represent the system dynamics of five vibration modes in each direction. Using these models. an attempt has been made to design H-infinity based dynamic output feedback controller to suppress the five vibration modes. These control schemes have been verified through simulation and experimental studies without any spill over problem. In the experiment. only two sensors and two actuators are used. The actuators are constructed based on the mechanism of a horizontal type pendulum and have been shown to be effective to reduce the vibration. REFERENCES
