Abstract: The design of controllers combining feedback and feedforward for the finite time settling control of linear systems, including linear time-varying systems, is considered. The feedforward part ...

Abstract: A set of governing differential equations is derived for the inplane motion of a rotating thin flexible beam. The beam is assumed to be linearly elastic and is connected to a rigid hub ...

Abstract: A strategy for confinement of flexural vibrations in flexible structures by proper selection of their geometrical and physical parameters is proposed. We first show that the problem of vibration confinement can be formulated ...

Abstract: Confinement of flexural vibrations in nonhomogeneous beams is formulated as one of two types of an inverse eigenvalue problem. In the first problem, the beam’s geometrical and physical parameters and natural frequencies ...
