Abstract
This paper considers a genetic based optimisation procedure
for designing the control force in actively controlled
structures. Two optimal output feedback controllers utilising
H2 and Hinfinity, optimal control are discussed in this paper where
only a limited number of sensors is used. In addition, the
feedback control used in this paper is a static (direct) output
feedback control where the gain can be multiplied directly
with the measurement output. Therefore, it is not necessary to
construct an observer to estimate the state as in the case of
dynamic or observer based controller. The optimisation to
minimise the H2 and Hinfinity, norms are solved using real coded
genetic algorithms (GAS), which has the ability to explore the
unknown domain of the solution. Numerical examples are
then carried out to the structures utilising active tuned mass
damper and active bracing systems to show the applicability
of the proposed procedure.
