In the workout examples, the first two modes are used to control. The effective vibration control is designed by resorting to two methods one is PID and the other is LQR. The PID, which is the most direct method, will be used as a reference in finding the better methods. The LQR is then utilized to obtain the better or eventually the best solution. The LQR is formulated by full–order state observer. These methods are elaborated and it was found that satisfactory answer can be obtained by using two modes of the beam.
