Krylov vector methods for model reduction and control of flexible structures

Krylov vectors and the concept of parameter matching are combined here to develop model-reduction algorithms for structural dynamics systems. The method is derived for a structural dynamics system described by a second-order matrix differential equation. The reduced models are shown to have a promising application in the control of flexible structures. It can eliminate control and observation spillovers while requiring only the dynamic spillover terms to be considered. A model-order reduction example and a flexible structure control example are provided to show the efficacy of the method.

Reduction of Model Complexity by Active Control

The mathematical models of many dynamic systems of interest in the aerospace industry are inherently complex and of high order. Rather than grapple with the full-complexity models for such systems, the control designers often elect to derive low-order, reduced-complexity models for which a control system can be designed. The subject of model-order reduction has received a significant amount of attention in control engineering literature. This paper describes and demonstrates a novel active-control methodology that can be used to design a control system that automatically forces the original system to behave like a chosen reduced-complexity model by treating the effects of the original complexity-related terms as disturbances acting on the reduced-complexity system. The method is demonstrated by several worked examples involving both linear and nonlinear systems, supported by simulation results.
