✦ Synopsis

In this paper we develop a robust controller design for the Active Mass Driver (AMD) benchmark problem. The design process is based around the D-K iteration procedure for (complex) synthesis, together with a balanced truncation procedure to reduce the controller order. The final design is a third-order linear controller, which utilizes only four accelerometer measurements, and has desirable rolloff properties (i.e. small required bandwidth, and a high degree of robustness). Despite the simplicity of the controller, it is able to yield quite good performance, while using only modest control authority.

A probability-based robust control design methodology is presented that is applied to the 'benchmark system', which is a high-fidelity model of an active-mass-driver laboratory structure. For the controller design, the objective is to maximize the probability that the uncertain structure/controller
