Vibration control of the structure with an active mechanical component

In order to control vibration, many mechanical structures have recently began using active elements. Up to now, in cases of designing such structures, structural analysis and design of the controller were carried out separately, and a controller is apt to become too complex. This paper investigates a design method that can use both vibration analysis and the controller design. This method is to design a controller by using both the transfer functions of the controller and whole structure.
