Abstract

This paper considers a problem of disturbance attenuation for a pinned–pinned flexible beam. The beam is modelled as a distributed parameter system and a procedure is developed to solve the corresponding disturbance attenuation problem for such a distributed parameter system. A controller is designed in a way that minimizes the effect of disturbances over the entire beam. The controller design approach of this paper is applicable to a large number of active noise and vibration control problems.
