Abstract
The paper describes experimental research of the flow impinging on heated plate. The flow was generated by synthetic jet actuators. Construction of these actuators is designed to excite a fluid flow in the circulatory track. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract
Several studies have been conducted in order to find the optimal location of actuators and sensors in the active vibration control of structures. In this paper, a modified optimization criterion is proposed for these two optimization problems, ensuring good observability or good controllability of the structure, and considering residual modes to limit the spill-over effects. Its efficiency is shown by the comparison with the classical criteria, illustrated for a simply supported beam and a rectangular plate. In these two applications, the number of active elements is discussed, using or neglecting the residual modes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
