Abstract: Noise control in a one-dimensional duct is analyzed. This problem is of practical interest and is also simple enough that a complete theoretical analysis is possible. It is shown that the ...

Abstract: Hysteresis is a widely occurring phenomenon. It can be found in a wide variety of natural and constructed systems. Generally, a system is said to exhibit hysteresis when a characteristic looping ...

Abstract: In this paper we analyze different models for beam vibrations from the standpoint of designing finite-dimensional controllers to stabilize the beam vibrations. We show that a distributed system ...
