An optimal control problem for the force vibration system based on the iterative regularization method, i.e. the conjugate gradient method (CGM), is examined to estimate the optimal control force in a damped system having time‐dependent system parameters such that the desire (or design) system displacements can be satisfied. It is assumed that no prior information is available on the functional form of the unknown control function in the present study, thus, it is classified as the function estimation. Numerical simulations are performed to test the validity of the present algorithm by using different types of the desire system displacements. Results show that an excellent estimation on the optimal control force can be obtained with arbitrary initial guesses within a couple of second's CPU time at Pentium III‐500 MHz PC.
