| Abstract: | A scheme for optimal control problem formulation of a class of nonviscously damped system using pseudo-state-space formulation is presented in this paper. Taking the exponentially damped system of nonviscously damped system as an example, a new state space representation is applied to the n-order exponentially damped system. The necessary conditions for the optimality of the exponentially damped system are obtained. A numerical example of a single degree of freedom exponentially damped system is considered to illustrate the methodology and technique. |
