Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of Flexible Structures

Abstract

Chaotic vibrations have been demonstrated in pinjointed truss structure and various factors involved, such as prestress (tension cables), member buckling, joint free-play and friction have been investigated. Modeling techniques have been developed through integration of finite and optimal controls, application of group theoretic concepts, and effective usage of computer graphics.
