This paper deals with a new method to controlflexible structures by designing non-collocated sensors and actuators satisfying a pseudo-collocation criterion in the low-frequency domain. Thistechnique is applied to a simply supported plate with a point forceactuator and a piezoelectric sensor, for which we give some theoretical andnumerical results. We also compute low-order controllers which stabilizepseudo-collocated systems and the closed-loop behavior show that this approachis very promising.
