Modeling and adaptive output feedback control for a flexible structure

This paper presents the adaptive control scheme for vibration control problem. The dynamic model of the flexible cantilever beam using finite element modeling is derived. The adaptive control using output feedback for output tracking is developed to improve the tracking performance. The proposed adaptive control is numerically verified on a flexible beam model, showing that it has satisfactory performance and robustness in vibration suppression with respect to the system disturbance and parameter variation. Satisfactory simulation results verify that the effectiveness of proposed adaptive control scheme.
