H1 Static and Dynamic Output Feedback Control of the AMD Benchmark Problem

This study develops an active control methodology for the AMD benchmark problem
of Spencer, et al. (1997) based on dynamic output feedback controllers designed
using an H1 based approach. Kalman lter estimators of the states of a reduced order
model of the benchmark structure are coupled to static state feedback controller
gains to develop the dynamic feedback controllers. A method is outlined for designing
H1 feedback controller gains, and a comparison is made between the eectiveness of
H1 static output feedback and the dynamic acceleration feedback controllers. The
results quantify the performance increase obtained with the additional complexity of
the dynamic output feedback controllers compared to the static acceleration feedback
