Summary

The fundamental principles of vibration-control systems are formulated in this chapter. There are many important

areas directly or indirectly related to the main theme of the chapter. These include practical implementation of

vibration-control systems, nonlinear control schemes, actual hardware implementation, actuator bandwidth

requirements, reliability, and cost. Furthermore, in the process of designing a vibration-control system, in practice,

several critical criteria must be considered. These include weight, size, shape, center-of-gravity, types of dynamic

disturbances, allowable system response, ambient environment, and service life. Keeping these in mind, general

design steps and procedures for vibration-control systems are provided.
