Practical implementation issues for active control of large flexible structures

Abstract

The effect of quantization due to the finite wordlength of microprocessors, analog-to-digital, and digital-to-analog converters, on the desired control law for large flexible structures is investigated. Additionally, the practical effect of actuator dynamics on the stability and performance of the control law is addressed. Finally, an active control experiment is reported which takes into account and demonstrates some of the previously discussed practical considerations.
