Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of passive damping on the optimum structural design with active controllers. An integrated design of structure and active control system is performed. The minimum weight design is obtained by imposing constraints on the closed-loop damping and the imaginary part of the closed-loop eigenvalues of the active control system. The mathematical optimization problem is solved by using the NEWSUMT-A program, which is based on quadratic extended interior penalty function method. The ACOSS-FOUR model is selected for the numerical studies. The active control effort, performance index, and optimum weights are presented as a function of the passive damping.
