This paper discusses the concept of a new methodology for active vibration control of flexible structures using consensus control of network systems. In the new approach, collocated actuation/sensingpatches communicate with one another through a network with certain directed topology. A virtual leader is assigned to enforce the vibration amplitude at the place of each agent to zero. Since the modal states of the system are not available for the vibration control task, individual optimal observers are designed for each agent first. After describing the controller and examining the stability of the system, controller performance is verified using a clamped-clamped thin aluminum beam. According to the obtained numerical results, the new control approach successfully suppresses the vibration amplitudes, while the consensus design ensures that all agents are synchronized during the performance.
