Application of MPC to an active structure using sampling rates up to 25kHz

In this paper we demonstrate the implementation of model predictive control (MPC) for vibration suppression of the first five bending modes of an active structure. For adequate performance, this requires a 5kHz sampling rate, which is achieved using a standard active-set optimisation technique running on a 200MHz digital signal processor. Experimental results show that MPC offers improved performance for this application when compared with other standard approaches.
