Cover of PDE Modeling and Boundary Control for Flexible Mechanical System
This book provides a comprehensive review of fundamental issues in the dynamical modeling and vibration control design for several flexible mechanical systems, such as flexible satellites, flexible aerial refueling hoses, and flexible three-dimensional manipulators. Offering an authoritative reference guide to the dynamics and control of flexible mechanical systems, it equips readers to solve a host of problems concerning these systems. It provides not only a complete overview of flexible systems, but also a better understanding of the technical levels involved. The book is divided into ten chapters: Chapters 1 and 2 lay the foundations, while the remaining chapters explore several independent yet related topics in detail. The book's final chapter presents conclusions and recommendations for future research.
Given its scope, the book is intended for researchers, graduate students, and engineers whose work involves control systems, flexible mechanical systems, and related areas.

Cover of Vibration Control Methods of Mechanical Distributed Parameter Systems
This book aims at investigating PDE modeling and vibration control of some typical mechanical distributed parameter systems. Several control methods are proposed to realize stabilization of the closed-loop system with the help of mathematical tools and stability analysis methods. Besides, some common engineering problems, such as input and output constraints, are also involved in the control design. This book offers a comprehensive introduction of mechanical distributed parameter systems, including PDE modeling, controller design and stability analysis. The related fundamental mathematical tools and analytical approaches involving in the PDE modeling and controller are also provided, which broadens its reach to readers.

Cover of Boundary Control of Flexible Three-Dimensional Euler-Bernoulli Beams

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.
