The Riesz basis property of a Timoshenko beam with boundary feedback and application

The Riesz basis property of the generalized eigenvector systemof a Timoshenko beam with boundary feedback is studied. Firstly,two auxiliary operators are introduced, and the Riesz basisproperty of their eigenvector systems is proved. This propertyis used to show that the generalized eigenvector system of aTimoshenko beam with some linear boundary feedback forms a Rieszbasis in the corresponding state space. Finally, it is concludedthat the closed loop system exhibits exponential stability.
