Optimal Actuator and Sensor Locations for Active Vibration Control: Using Improved Particle Swarm Algorithm

摘要

This paper deals with the optimization of actuators and sensors locations for active vibration control. An optimization criterion is defined, ensuring good observability and control-ability of the structure, and avoiding the spillover effect. An improved particle swarm algorithm is used to find the optimal configurations. Some simulations for a cantilever beam are shown.
