Optimal pointwise control of flexible structures. (English) Zbl 0791.49027

Summary: A class of optimal control problems for self-adjoint distributed- parameter systems is considered. An approach is proposed to damp the undesirable vibrations in the structure actively by means of pointwise controllers (actuators). Necessary conditions of optimality are derived as a set of independent integral equations which lead to explicit expressions for the pointwise controllers. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
