Flexible plate structure is a chosen technology used for many applications since past decades ago. However, this structure has a disadvantage that needs to be avoided which is easy to vibrate. Thus, this project presents the modelling of horizontal flexible plate system using bio-inspired flower pollination algorithm. The objective is to obtain an accurate model of the real system in the simulated environment. The collected of real vibration data through experimental study was then utilized to develop the dynamic system model based on linear autoregressive with exogenous (ARX) model structure and optimized by flower pollination algorithm (FPA). The algorithm is a novel bio-inspired optimization algorithm that mimics the real-life processes of the flower pollination. The gained model in this simulation is approved utilizing the most minimal mean squared error, correlation tests, and pole zero graph stability due to check the robustness of the model. The performance of the developed model was then compared with the conventional algorithm known as recursive least square (RLS). The best model achieved in this study will be used as a platform of controller development using active vibration control technique. © 2019 IEEE.
