This paper presents a finite element/Lagrangian approach for the mathematical modeling of
lightweight flexible manipulators. Each link of the manipulator is treated as an assemblage …

A survey of the field of optimal sensors and/or controllers location for dynamical distributed
parameter systems modelled by partial differential equations is presented. The recent …

A new method is presented for active vibration control of the axially moving string, one of the
most common models of axially moving continua. The control is formulated in the Laplace …

A new method is presented for noncolocated control of flexible mechanical systems. The
destabilizing effect of noncolocation of sensors and actuators is eliminated through …

One of the major difficulties in designing implementable finite-dimensional controllers for
distributed parameter systems is that such systems are inherently infinite dimensional while …

Recent research studies noncolocated control of flexible mechanical systems using time
delay. The developments are limited to undamped flexible systems; damped flexible …

A new single-input single-output frequency domain stability criterion for distributed
parameter systems is illustrated by application to feedback control of a Bernoulli-Euler …

Industrial robots and handling devices will be of great importance in future. Today robots are
used for various purposes in different industries. Main disadvantages of the robots used …

This paper studies vibration control of a class of gyroscopic systems by direct velocity
feedback. Of special interest is the stabilization of a gyroscopic system of many modes via a …

Robots are used for various purposes in large manufacturing companies specialized in
distinct fields as well as in small companies.“Flexibility” in connection with industrial robots …
