The purpose of this work is to investigate the control of the oscillations and the suppression of vibrations in damped and coupled oscillators. In this sense, we look into the potential of using a nonlinear energy sink in ...

Robust backstepping control of non-linear systems with derivation orders (commensurate or non-commensurate) lying at interval (0, 2) is proposed in this study. The stability and robustness properties are proved using a ...

This paper considers the nonlinear dynamics of an electromechanical device with a pendulum arm and a Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) put on the point of the pendulum suspension. It is shown that the (NES) is capable of absorbing ...

The Ball and Beam system is a common didactical experiment in control laboratories that can be used to illustrate many different closed-loop control techniques. The plant itself is subjected to many nonlinear effects, which ...

In this paper the dynamical interactions of a double pendulum arm and an electromechanical shaker is investigated. The double pendulum is a three degree of freedom system coupled to an RLC circuit based nonlinear shaker ...

In some practical problems, for instance, in the suppression of vibration in mechanical systems, the state-derivative signals are easier to obtain than the state signals. Thus, a method for state-derivative feedback design ...

This paper presents experimental observation of nonlinear vibrations in the response of a flexible cantilever beam to transverse harmonic base excitations around its flexural mode frequencies. In the experimental setup, ...

This manuscript presents a switched control design for robust control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. In particular, it is considered a class of nonlinear systems whose dynamics are described by polynomial ...
