This paper reviews the dynamics and vibration control techniques for marine riser systems.
The riser pipes are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli beams that vibrate under the effects of ocean …

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive finite-time tracking control for strict-feedback
nonlinear continuous-time systems subject to full state constraints and dead-zone. By …

In this paper, a flexible cable with a payload attached at the bottom is considered to be the
model of a crane system used for positioning the payload. The dynamics of the flexible cable …

The method of “integrator backstepping” emerged around 1990 as a robust version of
feedback linearization for nonlinear systems with uncertainties. Backstepping was …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

This paper presents several recently developed techniques for adaptive control of PDE
systems. Three different design methods are employed—the Lyapunov design, the passivity …

In this paper, we present the vibration control design for a Euler-Bernoulli beam with the
boundary output constraint. To prevent the constraint violation, a novel barrier Lyapunov …

This book introduces a comprehensive methodology for adaptive control design of parabolic
partial differential equations with unknown functional parameters, including reaction …

We develop adaptive controllers for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) controlled
from a boundary and containing unknown destabilizing parameters affecting the interior of …

In this paper, robust adaptive control is developed for a thruster assisted position mooring
system in the transverse direction. To provide an accurate and concise representation for the …
