Energy-Based In-Domain Control of a Piezo-Actuated Euler-Bernoulli Beam (1811.09672v1)
Published 21 Nov 2018 in math.OC and math.AP
Abstract: The main contribution of this paper is the extension of the well-known boundary-control strategy based on structural invariants to the control of infinite-dimensional systems with in-domain actuation. The systems under consideration, governed by partial differential equations, are described in a port-Hamiltonian setting making heavy use of the underlying jet-bundle structure, where we restrict ourselves to systems with 1-dimensional spatial domain and 2nd-order Hamiltonian. To show the applicability of the proposed approach, we develop a dynamic controller for an Euler-Bernoulli beam actuated with a pair of piezoelectric patches and conclude the article with simulation results.
