Boundary Stabilization of Nonlinear Flexible Systems

  • Chapter
Mechanics and Control

Abstract

We present some results on feed back stabilization of nonlinear beams and space craft with flexible appendages by use of controls applied to the boundary of flexible members. Semigroup theory and basic concepts of Lyapunov functions are used to prove stability, asymptotic stability, and exponential stability.
