Qualitative Results for Distributed Systems with Discrete Damping and Stiffness with Application to Control

Abstract

Distributed parameter models of large flexible space structures subject to various control techniques have been studied. The main thrust has been to develop qualitative results which are independent of truncation or discretization approaches by treating the fully distributed model. Emphasis has been on controlling the transient response of non-conservative linear partial differential equation models of such structures subject to a few point actuators.
