Optimal vibration control of fiber reinforced composite shell panel

Abstract

The concept of optimal vibration control using LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) is a new area of research of the shell structure. Many research have been done previously for the optimal vibration control. In this thesis it is mainly focused on the optimal vibration control of the FRP composites of shell structures using sensors and actuators. The vibration occurs when impulse loads is applied for certain period of time and the types of vibration depend on the material properties. So using LQR technique the vibration is controlled of the shell structures of FRP composites.
