This paper addresses the problem of the partial eigenvalue assignment for second-order damped vibration systems by static output feedback. The presented method uses the combined acceleration, velocity and displacement output feedback and works directly on second-order system models without the knowledge of the unassigned eigenpairs. It allows the input and output matrices to be prescribed beforehand in a simple form. The real-valued spectral decomposition of the symmetric quadratic pencil is adopted to derive a homogeneous matrix equation of output feedback gain matrices that assure the no spi...
