Stabilization and Control Problems in Structural Dynamics
Abstract
Progress on the research of control and stabilization problems in structural dynamics. Primary emphases were on the modelling, designs, placements and analysis of stabilizers and controllers. Two primary types of vibrating structures were treated: the second order wave equation such as strings and cables, and the fourth order equation such as beams. For those structures, he was able to classify the types of stabilizers, analyze their damping behavior, and determine the mechanical designs. Various methods such as characteristics, asymptotic estimation, energy, functional analysis and the Legendre spectral method were used to study the problems. Some relevant theory and methods for general distributed systems and equilibrium problems were developed.
