Adaptive Control of Flexible Structures deals with vibration control for large-scale flexible structures which are, or may be, subject to a broadband primary vibration field. The authors present a complete rationale for solving problems of vibration, from experimental structural characterization to controller implementation. In reaching this objective they address the following steps:

- experimental identification of the dynamic model of the structure;

- optimal placement of sensors and actuators;

- formulation of control constraints in terms of controller...
