State Space Model of a Structure

R. Kashani, Ph.D. www.deicon.com


Traditionally, structural dynamics has been formulated using a set of secondorder ODEs. As familiar to the practitioners as this formulation is, it has some drawbacks. For example, decoupling the differential equations of a multiDOF system with viscous damping using this formulation is not possible. Moreover, this formulation does not lend itself to active multiinputmultioutput control either. These limitations are addressed using state space formulation, in which a set of rst order ODEs describe the system dynamics, depicted in the generic form of x y

where x, u, and y are the vectors of states, inputs, and outputs, respectively. A, B, C, and D are the constant dynamics, input, output, and direct transmission matrices, respectively. In structural dynamics, displacements and velocities (in physical and modal domains) are the most commonly used states. Readers unfamiliar with the state space formulation of dynamics systems are referred to State Space Modeling tutorial. The formulation presented by Equations 1 and 2 is the basis for statespace modeling of exible structures, having point force(s) as the input(s) and point displacement(s) as the measured output(s).

Input/Output Formulation of the Equation of Motion


Without the loss of generality, the structural state space formulation is carried out for a one dimensional structure, i.e., a beam. Input Matrix When the beam is excited by a point force p0 and a point moment m0 , the modal equation of motion is

where Qm i r and Qi r are the generalized modal forcing functions due to point moment and point force inputs, respectively. The general expansion of this forcing function is Qi r

where L is the length of the beam and F r could be viewed as the spatial representation of the forcing function; see Equations (7) and (8). When input to the beam is a point force p0 t acting at location r a, the forcing function f r t is f rt p0 t r a (7)

When a pair of point moments of equal magnitude and opposite sign, resembling piezoelectricpatch actuation, act at r1 and r2 , Equation (11) becomes i t Output Matrix Displacement/velocity measurement When the measured output is displacement or velocity, Equation 13 or its derivative is used to formulate the output equation. w Pt

Strain measurement: Strain, measured by a patch of piezoelectric ceramic, at any small region of a structure is proportional to the curvature at that region. In a beam the curvature is the second derivative of the displacement, i.e., r

t t

where , the proportionality factor, is the distance from the neutral axis of the beam. For an individual mode i 2i r i r i t (19) r2 where is a constant. The signal generated by a patch of piezoelectric strain gauge installed along the length of the beam between r r1 and r2 is proportional to the integral of strain over the domain of the gauge, i.e. between r1 and r2 . So the contribution of the mode i to measured output is

For collocated arrangements W QT , which similar to the relationship between Q and W when point force is the input and displacement is the output, with collocated arrangement. The model structure described above is based on the classical (proportional) damping assumption, i.e., damping coefcient matrix is proportional to the mass M and stiffness K matrices. Although this is more of a mathematical convenience than physical reality, the assumption is widely used in modeling exible structures. In the absence of classical damping assumption, the statespace model of the exible structure can still be represented in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the system.
