Stabilization of a class of hybrid systems arising in flexible spacecraft (Q1061681): Difference between revisions

We consider the problem of rigorous modelling of flexible spacecrafts and their stabilization. It is shown that the dynamics of the flexible spacecraft can be described by a coupled system of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations (hybrid system). Lyapunov's approach is used to prove the stabilizability of the system. Simple feedback controls are suggested for stabilization of flexible spacecrafts.
