This paper first derives equations of motion of extensible and shearable slender beams with large motions under both deterministic and stochastic external loads. Boundary feedback controllers are then proposed to achieve almost surely globally practically asymptotic stability. The control design, well-posedness, and stability analysis are based on a Lyapunov-type theorem developed for a class of stochastic evolution systems (SESs) in Hilbert space.

Abstract The non-linear equations of motion in multi-body dynamics pose a difficult problem in linear control design. It is therefore desirable to have linearization capability in conjunction with a general-purpose multibody dynamics modeling technique. A new computational method for linearization is obtained by applying a series of first-order analytical approximations to the recursive kinematic relationships. The method has proved to be computationally more efficient. It has also turned out to be more accurate because the analytical perturbation requires matrix and vector operations by circumventing numerical differentiation and other associated numerical operations that may accumulate computational error.

Control design of flexible robot manipulators can take advantage of the structural properties of the model used to describe the robot dynamics. Many of these properties are physical characteristics of mechanical systems whereas others arise from the method employed to model the flexible manipulator. In this paper, the modeling of flexible-link robot manipulators on the basis of the Lagrange’s equations of motion combined with the assumed modes method is briefly discussed. Several notable properties of the dynamic model are presented and their impact on control design is underlined.

Hyperbolic formulations of the equations of motion are essential technique for proving the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of a system, and are also helpful for implementing stable long time evolution in numerical applications. We, here, present three kinds of hyperbolic systems in the Ashtekar formulation of general relativity for Lorentzian vacuum spacetime. We exhibit several (I) weakly hyperbolic, (II) diagonalizable hyperbolic, and (III) symmetric hyperbolic systems, with each their eigenvalues. We demonstrate that Ashtekar's original equations form a weakly hyperbolic system. We discuss how gauge conditions and reality conditions are constrained during each step toward constructing a symmetric hyperbolic system.

This paper is concerned with designing a bang-bang control input to perform a quick rotational maneuver of a rigid spacecraft hub connected with flexible appendages. The control design is based on only the rigid body mode making it very simple to design and at the same time achieve the quickest maneuver possible. The induced vibrations are suppressed using piezoelectric transducers bonded to the appendages and connected to an electric circuit with the objective of converting the vibrational energy to electrical energy and then dissipating it using passive electric elements, such as a resistance and an inductor. The proposed control design method is applied to a spacecraft containing a rigid hub and flexible appendages. The attitude control torque is produced using either the reaction wheels contained inside the rigid hub or jet thrusters mounted outside it. The control design process starts with deriving the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion for the spacecraft using Hamilton’s principle which accounts for the electromechanical coupling and the presence of resistive or resistive-inductive circuits. To simplify the analysis, the nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion are then obtained using the assumed mode method. The effectiveness of the control design method is numerically tested on a spacecraft that is required to perform a quick attitude maneuver and, simultaneously, suppress the induced vibrations. The simulations show a quick and accurate maneuver has been achieved combined with very low levels of vibrations resulting from the reduced coupling between flexible and rigid motions as well as the damping added as a result of the passive shunt circuit. Furthermore, the resistance-inductance shunt circuit is shown to be more effective in damping the vibrations than the resistance shunt circuit.

Static Equilibrium State

Here, a simplified dynamical model of a magnetically levitated body is considered. The origin of an inertial Cartesian reference frame is set at the pivot point of the pendulum on the levitated body in its static equilibrium state (ie, the gap between the magnet on the base and the magnet on the body, in this state). The governing equations of motion has been derived and the characteristic feature of the strategy is the exploitation of the nonlinear effect of the inertial force associated, with the motion of a pendulum-type vibration absorber driven, by an appropriate control torque [4]. In the present paper, we analyzed the nonlinear dynamics of problem, discussed the energy transfer between the main system and the pendulum in time, and developed State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) control design to reducing the unstable oscillatory movement of the magnetically levitated body to a stable fixed point. The simulations results showed the effectiveness of the (SDRE) control design.
