Nonlinear Boundary Stabilization of Nonuniform Timoshenko Beam

In this paper, the stabilization problem of nonuniform Timoshenko beam by some nonlinear boundary feedback controls is considered. By virtue of nonlinear semigroup theory, energy-perturbed approach and exponential multiplier method, it is shown that the vibration of the beam under the proposed control actiondecays exponentially or in negative power of time t as t→∞.     

Blow-up of solutions for a nonlinear beam equation with fractional feedback

A nonlinear beam equation describing the transversal vibrations of a beam with boundary feedback is considered. The boundary feedback involves a fractional derivative. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of solutions. In fact, we prove that solutions blow up in finite time under certain assumptions on the nonlinearity.

Stabilization and optimal decay rate for a non-homogeneous rotating body-beam with dynamic boundary controls

In this paper, we consider the boundary stabilization of a flexible beam attached to the center of a rigid disk. The disk rotates with a non-uniform angular velocity while the beam has non-homogeneous spatial coefficients. To stabilize the system, we propose a feedback law which consists of a control torque applied on the disk and either a dynamic boundary control moment or a dynamic boundary control force or both of them applied at the free end of the beam. By the frequency multiplier method, we show that no matter how non-homogeneous the beam is, and no matter how the angular velocity is varying but not exceeding a certain bound, the nonlinear closed loop system is always exponential stable. Furthermore, by the spectral analysis method, it is shown that the closed loop system with uniform angular velocity has a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions, which form a Riesz basis for the state space, and hence the spectrum-determined growth condition as well as the optimal decay rate are obtained.     

Uniform stabilization of a nonlinear structural acoustic model with a Timoshenko beam interface

This paper is concerned with a nonlinear model which describes the interaction of sound and elastic waves in a two‐dimensional acoustic chamber in which one flat ‘wall’, the interface, is flexible. The composite dynamics of the structural acoustic model is described by the linearized equations for a gas defined on the interior of the chamber and the nonlinear Timoshenko beam equations on the interface. Uniform stability of the energy associated with the interactive system of partial differential equations is achieved by incorporating a nonlinear feedback boundary damping scheme in the equations for the gas and the beam.

Automatic Control via Thermostats of a Hyperbolic Stefan Problem with Memory

A hyperbolic Stefan problem based on the linearized Gurtin—Pipkin heat conduction law is considered. The temperature and free boundary are controlled by a thermostat acting on the boundary. This feedback control is based on temperature measurements performed by real thermal sensors located within the domain containing the two-phase system and/or at its boundary. Three different types of thermostats are analyzed: simple switch, relay switch, and a Preisach hysteresis operator. The resulting models lead to integrodifferential hyperbolic Stefan problems with nonlinear and nonlocal boundary conditions. Existence results are proved in all the cases. Uniqueness is also shown, except in the situation corresponding to the ideal switch. Accepted 27 May 1997     

Boundary Stabilization of the Korteweg-de Vries Equation and the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers Equation

In this article, we continue our study of a system described by a class of initial boundary value problem (IBVP) of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the KdV Burgers (KdVB) equation posed on a finite interval with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. While the system is known to be locally well-posed (Kramer et al. , [2010]; Rivas et al. in Math. Control Relat. Fields 1:61–81, [2011]) and its small amplitude solutions are known to exist globally, it is not clear whether its large amplitude solutions would blow up in finite time or not. This problem is addressed in this article from control theory point of view: look for some appropriate feedback control laws (with boundary value functions as control inputs) to ensure that the finite time blow-up phenomena would never occur. In this article, a simple, but nonlinear, feedback control law is proposed and the resulting closed-loop system is shown not only to be globally well-posed, but also to be locally exponentially stable for the KdV equation and globally exponentially stable for the KdVB equation.

Boundary output feedback stabilization for a class of coupled parabolic systems

In this paper, the boundary output feedback stabilization problem is addressed for a class of coupled nonlinear parabolic systems. An output feedback controller is presented by introducing a Luenberger‐type observer based on the measured outputs. To determine observer gains, a backstepping transform is introduced by choosing a suitable target system with nonlinearity. Furthermore, based on the state observer, a backstepping boundary control scheme is presented. With rigorous analysis, it is proved that the states of nonlinear closed‐loop system including state estimation and estimation error of plant system are locally exponentially stable in the L²norm. Finally, a numerical example is proposed to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented scheme.
