Abstract
This paper presents experimental results of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) application for design of industrial actuators used for vibration control of tall flexible structures. The method for modeling flexible structures with distributed parameters as reduced-order models with lumped parameters, is employed. Design of flexible structures is considered as a feedback search procedure where a new solution is assigned a fitness value and the GA, iterates until a satisfactory design solution is achieved. A new evaluation function (fitness function) which uses the ratio between the controlled and un-controlled peaks of the frequency response in the first mode of vibration as the measure of utility of the solution, is proposed.
