Mechatronic Control of Distributed Noise and Vibration: A Lyapunov Approach

Abstract

The main purpose of the book as stated by the author is to examine the recent applications of Lyapunov's method for distributed parameter systems to the control of vibration and noise. This book is divided into six chapters with a reasonable bibliography at the end of the chapters. One of the unique features of this book is the fact that the author uses three to four systems such as the gantry crane string, cantilevered beam and a flexible link robot arm throughout the book to illustrate passive (non-model-based), model-based and adaptive control concepts.
