Abstract
For successful active control with a vibrating plate it is essential to
appropriately place actuators. One of the most important criteria is to
make the system controllable, so any control objectives can be achieved.
In this paper the controllability-oriented placement of actuators is
undertaken. First, a theoretical model of a fully clamped rectangular
plate is obtained. Optimization criterion based on maximization of
controllability of the system is developed. The memetic algorithm is used
to find the optimal solution. Obtained results are compared with those
obtained by the evolutionary algorithm. The configuration is also
validated experimentally.
