Exact boundary controllability of a Rao-Nakra sandwich beam
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a three layer Rao-Nakra sandwich beam with damping proportional to shear included in the core layer. We prove that eigenvectors of the beam form a Riesz basis for the natural energy space. In the damped case, we are able to give precise conditions under which solutions decay at a uniform exponential rate. We also consider the problem of boundary control using bending moment and lateral force control at one end. We prove that the space of exact controllability has finite co-dimension and provide sufficient conditions (related to small damping) for exact controllability to a zero energy state.

Exact Boundary Controllability Results for a Multilayer Rao-Nakra Sandwich Beam
We study the boundary controllability problem for a multilayer Rao-Nakra sandwich beam. This beam model consists of a Rayleigh beam coupled with a number of wave equations. We consider all combinations of clamped and hinged boundary conditions with the control applied to either the moment or the rotation angle at an end of the beam. We prove that exact controllability holds provided the damping...

متن کاملExact boundary controllability of a Hybrid System of Elasticity by the HUM Method
Abstract. We consider the exact controllability of a hybrid system consisting of an elastic beam, clamped at one end and attached at the other end to a rigid antenna. Such a system is governed by one partial differential equation and two ordinary differential equations. Using the HUM method, we prove that the hybrid system is exactly controllable in an arbitrarily short time in the usual energy...
متن کاملCoupled Bending-Longitudinal Vibration of Three Layer Sandwich Beam using Exact Dynamic Stiffness Matrix
A Newtonian (vectorial) approach is used to develop the governing differential equations of motion for a three layer sandwich beam in which the uniform distribution of mass and stiffness is dealt with exactly. The model allows for each layer of material to be of unequal thickness and the effects of coupled bending and longitudinal motion are accounted for. This results in an eighth order ordina...
متن کاملBoundary Feedback Stabilization of a Three - Layer Sandwich Beam : Riesz Basis Approach
In this paper, we consider the boundary stabilization of a sandwich beam which consists of two outer stiff layers and a compliant middle layer. Using Riesz basis approach, we show that there is a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions, which forms a Riesz basis in the state space. As a consequence, the spectrum-determined growth condition as well as the exponential stability of the closed-loop ...
