Abstract

Control system experiments are described that were carried out on flexible structure facilities at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). The feedback controllers were designed using the technique of weighted gap optimization to increase structural damping and achieve robust control.
