The purpose of this two-part work is to apply active mode localization to distributed parameter systems where the number of control sensors and actuators is a limiting factor. In this part, the theoretical development portion of the study, two approaches are presented that shape system eigenvectors using feedback control, generating localization to produce areas of isolation with relatively low vibration amplitudes compared to other parts of the structure. The first approach uniformly shapes all eigenvectors of a vibrating system, but can require many actuators to do so. The second more general approach uses singular value decomposition (SVD) to shape selected eigenvectors of a system, localizing the response of these modes to any disturbance, and requiring few actuators.
