The problem of selecting optimal locations of actuators and sensors for the control of flexible structures is addressed. Novel geometrical and physical interpretations are given for both controllability and observability grammians which enhances the intuitive aspects of the actuator and sensor placement problem. The explicit form of controllability and observability grammians for flexible structures is used to define modal grammian coefficients, which provides the basis for an actuator and sensor placement technique. The relationship of the proposed metric to three different existing criteria are given. The method is demonstrated on a model of an experimental large flexible structure.
