In structural engineering, active structures that combine the principles of lightweight construction with bending elastic component behavior are increasingly being investigated. For the realization of a prototype of an active hybrid roof structure at the laboratory of Hybrid Structures at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, preliminary investigations on a case study are conducted in the framework of this publication in order to improve the design process of these types of structures. These active hybrids require a higher design effort than classical structures from the field of structural engineering due to a larger number of relevant objectives. Consequently, this study devotes special attention to these essential target criteria and their mathematical formulation. Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of this design process, a hierarchical method is derived that is subdivided into two successive partial procedures, which contain specific heuristics that are developed. In this method, after structural optimization, an optimal actuator placement is performed. The subject of a design process involving optimal actuator placement is relatively unexplored for active structures in which components are subjected to large elastic bending deformations and is therefore the focus of this study. In order to verify the functionality of the method and the plausibility of the results of the derived partial methods, a validation of the methodology is performed. Therefore, results of analyses of an active truss structure are compared with those of an active hybrid structure, both derived using the presented method. In addition to validating results, the study intends to investigate whether the performance of an active hybrid structure generated by the proposed method is sufficiently competitive compared to a state-of-the-art active truss structure derived by the same procedure.

Active Vibration Control of a Convertible Structure based on a Linear Parameter-Varying Model
(2019)
This paper investigates modelling and active vibration control (AVC) of ultra-lightweight convertible structures based on the elastic kinetic motion mechanism with a focus on civil and structural engineering applications. Model building is carried out in the linear parameter-varying (LPV) framework for the example of a convertible Fin Ray structure. In a first step local linear time-invariant (LTI) models are derived from a finite element model of the structure for different transformation states. On the basis of this collection of local LTI models, a grid-based LPV model is established. An AVC of multiple modes is implemented by means of a modal velocity feedback control. Single-input single-output (SISO) control design is carried out with the root locus method for the first and second mode using the same control input under the assumption of well separated eigenfrequencies. The implemented AVC is validated in simulation.
Active Vibration Control of a Convertible Structure Based on a Polytopic LPV Model Representation
(2020)
This paper deals with modeling and control of lightweight convertible structures for the application in civil and structural engineering. Such structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight design. In addition, they exhibit transformation state dependent dynamic behavior. In order to guarantee a reliable operation, the use of active vibration control (AVC) is an effective means. For the example of a simplified convertible structure, modeling is demonstrated using the linear parameter-varying (LPV) framework. Based on local linear time-invariant (LTI) models, derived from a finite element model of the convertible structure, a polytopic LPV model is established. This LPV model is then utilized to design a polytopic LPV output-feedback controller for AVC during the structure’s transformation. The effectiveness of the designed controller is validated in simulation.
