This paper describes the detailed approaches and experimental results for controlling both the rigid body and structural modes of a 1.2-m-diam circular plate. The experiments demonstrate required methodology and expected pathologies in effecting modal control with both colocated and noncolocated actuators and sensors. Optical sensing, along with electromagnetic and electrodynamic actuators, is used to control five structural bending modes.
