“…In order to address this problem, i.e. to determine the input voltages U j (t) while reducing the control spillover, the size, shape and location of the attached piezo-patches serve as degrees-of-freedom, which can be suitably determined by incorporating results from the optimal placement of actuators (see, e.g., [3]). For the particular problem, further details are omitted due to a lack of space and the interested reader is, e.g., referred to [1].…”
