Abstract
The present invention provides methods and systems for controlling transductive structures to achieve a desired performance objective. According to one aspect, the present invention provides a controller which simulates a synthetic admittance or impedance when coupled to a bicoupled device and effectively cancels the reactance of the bicoupled device. Cancelling the reactance of the bicoupled device allows energy to be reflected back into an energy storage portion of the circuit resulting in an energy efficient damping and/or control system.
