Abstract
This paper advances a unified theory for the modalspace control method developed by these authors for the control of large flexible structures and places the theory on a more rigorous foundation. The unified approach permits the simultaneous treatment of a broad spectrum of interrelated problems. In particular, the theory is valid for both nongyroscopic and gyroscopic systems and for systems with ignorable coordinates resulting from rigid body motions. In addition, it permits a convenient way of studying the question of control spillover. The modal-space control method is different from any other modal control method in that it provides both internal (plant) and external (controller) decoupling.Keywords
