Abstract

Chapter 8 studies the modeling and control of a flexible marine riser with the vessel dynamics. Both the dynamics of the vessel and the vibration of the riser are considered in the dynamic analysis, which make the system more difficult to control. Boundary control is proposed at the top boundary of the riser to suppress the riser’s vibration. Adaptive control is designed when the system parametric uncertainties exist. Employing the Lyapunov direct method, the states of the system are proven to be uniformly ultimately bounded. The state of the system will converge to a small neighborhood of zero by appropriately choosing the design parameters. The design is based on the PDEs of the system, thus avoiding some drawbacks associated with the traditional truncated-model-based design approaches.
