EIGENSTRUCTURE ASSIGNMENT BY OUTPUT-FEEDBACK

This paper looks at the problem of eigenstructure assignment using the system outputs. The algorithm developed is a single pass solution based on the singular value decomposition used to assess rank deficiency. The technique uses metrics to assess the time response, actuator movement and output decoupling of the eigenstructure problem. The paper then applies the algorithm to a multi-input system and demonstrates the use of the decoupling and actuator metrics.
