Adaptive Control for Structural Damage Mitigation

Substantial progress has been made in analyzing the integrity of composite structures when macro or nano sensors and actuators are embedded into it. The resulting structure in a dynamic environment is said to be “intelligent” if it performs a certain functional requirements related to vibrations, health, shape, etc. In health, after the damage has been detected, the subject of damage mitigation becomes important, so that in prognosis context (Farrar and Lieven, 2007), the remaining life of the structure is extended. The damage is said to be mitigated if the sensor data of the damaged structure matches with the sensor data of the healthy structure. This is done by applying an actuator loading. In this paper, Model Reference Adaptive Control (Slotine and Li, 1991) is applied for structural damage mitigation. A known finite element model resulting from the structural health monitoring and assessment techniques is adopted to determine the control parameters that mitigate the damage. An example is illustrated using a spring-mass-damper model that depicts a structural model with modal coordinates.
