HPSO Algorithm of Actuator Placement for Vibration Suppression of Large Flexible Space Structure

Abstract:

Optimal actuator placement is the key technology to be solved for active vibration suppression of large flexible space structure. According to the features of close mode and light damping, the optimal criterion derived from the controllability and observability of Grammian matrix is designed; Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) algorithm is introduced to solve the problem in optimizing actuator placement, and the detail solving step is given. Compared with genetic algorithm (GA) in previous research, HPSO is better than GA in convergence rates and computing time. Based on the above optimal results, LQG/LTR control method is utilized when the large flexible structure under pulse and Gauss white noise excitation respectively. The numerical simulation results show that LQG/LTR, which has a better performance in suppressing structure vibration than LQG, can suppress the vibration of large flexible space structure and improve system robustness.
