Optimal simultaneous control and structure design
Optimization-based control/structure design methodologies are presented for large space structures with the H2 cost function. The order and/or structure of the compensator can be chosen in advance. It is assumed that the compensator parameters can vary freely, but the structural parameters are constrained. In addition, the CSI model is presented. The problem is stated, and algorithms are developed in MATRIXx software. Finally, the tools that are developed are tested using an 11-beam truss example.
