The purpose of this research is to conduct a preliminary investigation into the possibility of suppressing the flutter and post-flutter (chaotic) responses of a two-dimensional self-excited airfoil with a cubic nonlinear stiffness (in torsion) and linear viscous damping via closed-loop harmonic parametric excitation. It was found that the initial configuration of the proposed control scheme caused the torsional/pitch dynamics to act as a nonlinear energy sink; as a result, it was identified that the mechanisms of vibration suppression are the resonance capture cascade and the short duration or isolated resonance capture. It is the isolated resonance capture that is responsible for the second-order-like damping and full vibration suppression of the aeroelastic system. The unforced and closed-loop system was subjected to random excitation to simulate aerodynamic turbulence. It was found that the random excitation suppresses the phase-coherent chaotic response, and the closed-loop system is susceptible to random excitation.

This paper is concerned with the design of boundary control for globally stabilizing a flexible marine riser system. The dynamics of the riser system are represented in the form of hybrid partial–ordinary differential equations. Firstly, when the system state available for feedback is unmeasurable, an observer backstepping method is employed to reconstruct the system state and then design the boundary control for vibration suppression of the riser system. Subsequently, for the case that the system states in the designed control law cannot be accurately obtained, the high-gain observers are utilized to estimate those unmeasurable system states. With the proposed control, the uniformly ultimately bounded stability of the closed-loop system is demonstrated by the use of Lyapunov’s synthetic method and the state observer error is converged exponentially to zero as time approaches to infinity. In addition, the disturbance observer is introduced to track external environmental disturbance. Finally, the control performance of the closed-loop system is validated by carrying out numerical simulation.

This paper deals with the problem of mixed [Formula: see text] and passive control for flexible spacecrafts subject to nonuniform sampling and time-varying delay in the input channel. An impulsive observer-based controller is introduced and the resulting closed-loop system is a hybrid system consisting of a continuous time-delay subsystem and an impulsive differential subsystem. As a first result, we derive a generalized bounded real lemma (GBRL), that is, a generalized [Formula: see text] performance criterion, for the impulsive differential subsystem by constructing a time-varying Lyapunov functional. Then, on the basis of this GBRL and utilizing the Lyapunov–Krasovskii approach, a sufficient condition is derived to asymptotically stabilize the closed-loop system and simultaneously guarantee a prescribed mixed [Formula: see text] and passivity performance index. A design method is proposed for the desired controller, which can be readily constructed by solving a convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) constraints. Finally, numerical experiments are provided to support the theoretical results, and comparisons with former approaches are also discussed.
