Abstract
A new and efficient technique for determining optimal locations of sensors and actuators of intelligent structures is presented. The optimization of sensor and actuator locations is based on the 1st order singular value perturbations of observability and controllability. Using this method the optimal placements of sensors and actuators of the intelligent structurer can be selected. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applications of the method. The impulse responses of structures due to different locations of actuators with the same control law are analyzed in detail.
