Partial stabilization and control of distributed parameter systems with elastic elements (Q2257608)

In this book of 232 pages, the author discusses several topics on partial stabilization and control for distributed parameter systems with elastic elements. The book has 6 chapters as follows: 1) Basic results from the theory of continuous semigroups of operators, 2) partial asymptotic stability, 3) stabilization of rotating body with Euler-Bernoulli beams, 4) reachable sets and controllability conditions, 5) observer-based stabilization of a manipulator based on the Timoshenko beam model, 6) control and stabilization of a rotating Kirchhoff plate. Readers interested in stabilization and control theory will find the book useful.
