Towards a generalized regulation scheme for oscillatory systems via coupling effects

The vibration suppression laws presented in this work utilize an energy transfer phenomena that is evident in some linearly and nonlinearly coupled systems. The first iteration of the formulation is presented in this paper. These control laws are unique in that the states approach the operating point on the order of a cosine function, the nonlinear control law renders a unidirectional control input, and the intuition associated with the energy transfer analogy aids the controller design.<
