Boundary Control of Flexible Three-Dimensional Euler–Bernoulli Beams (eBook)

This book focuses on vibration suppression of flexible three-dimensional Euler-Bernoulli beams modeled by PDEs. Boundary control strategy and several control methods are proposed to stabilize the closed-loop system. Besides, some common engineering problems such as input constraint and output constraint are also considered in the control scheme design. This book offers a comprehensive introduction of the modeling process, controller design, stability analysis and numerical simulation. The detailed MATLAB codes in each chapter are also provided, which can make readers better understand the control flow of the system. This book is mainly targeted for researchers, senior undergraduate students and postgraduate students in the field of control theory and control engineering.
