Operator Based Robust Nonlinear Vibration Control of Load-attached Flexible Arm Actuated by Single-sided SMA

In this paper, control system of the vibration for a load-attached flexible arm using shape memory alloy (SMA) is proposed. The mathematical model of the vibration of the arm with load and SMA actuator is described. Next, a control system based on operator theory is designed. Finally, experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and control system.
