Adaptive active control of flexible structures subjected to rigid body displacements

In the case of regulation, the performances of this controller highlight on the one hand, the near-constant dynamic behavior of the controlled structure by eliminating instabilities, in spite of the considerable changes of kinetics and, on the other hand, clearly improved performances when compared to a fixed linear controller. In the case of a set point tracking, performances in terms of rapidity are also appreciably improved compared to those of a linear controller, while guaranteeing stability, significant damping and absolute precision without residual strains when the commands are performed.
