Abstract
The optimal control problems of exponentially damped system are considered in this paper. Exponentially damped system involves convolution integrals over exponentially decaying functions, which is used as damping models in viscoelastically damped structures. The dynamic constraint is in the form of a differential equation that includes integer derivatives and the "integral" term. The performance index considered is a function of both the state and the control variables. The traditional state-space approach is extended to the optimal control problems of exponentially damped system, A direct numerical technique is used to solve the resulting equations. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the above control design.
