Hydraulic actuator tuning in the control of a rotating flexible beam mechanism. (English) Zbl 0868.73063

The dynamics of the geometrically nonlinear beam mechanism is analyzed. To compensate for geometric nonlinearities that cause instability when positioning to large mechanism angles, an active actuator tuning scheme is proposed. Simulation results are presented that show the stabilizing effect of the proposed control strategy.
