Optimal Projection for Uncertain Systems (OPUS): A Unified Theory of Reduced-Order, Robust Control Design

  • Chapter
Large Space Structures: Dynamics and Control

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Computational Mechanics ((SSCMECH))

Abstract

OPUS (Optimal Projection for Uncertain Systems) provides new machinery for designing active controllers for suppressing vibration in flexible structures. The purpose of this paper is to review this machinery and demonstrate its practical value in addressing the structural control problem.

This research was supported in part by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under contracts F49620-86-C-0002 and F49620-86-C-0038.
