Covariance control using closed loop modeling for structures

This paper presents a low order controller design method, using closed loop modeling plus covariance control, with application to the benchmark problem in structural control for the active mass drive system at the University of Notre Dame. This method finds a satisfactory controller by iterating between closed loop modeling and covariance control. The closed loop modeling implies that the model used for model-based control design is extracted from the feedback system of the last iteration.
