This paper proposes an adaptive boundary control to an axially moving string system, which couples with a mass-damper-spring (MDS) controller at its right-hand-side (RHS) boundary. Unknown parameters appearing in the system equation are assumed constant and estimated on-line by using adaptation laws. The adaptive computed-torque control algorithm applied to robot manipulators of lumped systems is extended to design the adaptive boundary controller for the coupling system. It is found that the control force and update laws depend only on the displacement, velocity and slope of the string at the RHS boundary. Lyapunov stability guarantees the convergence of the tracking error to zero. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

This paper presents the active vibration control of an axially moving string system through a mass-damper-spring (MDS) controller at its right-hand side (RHS) boundary. A nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) describes a distributed parameter system (DPS) and directly selected as the object to be controlled. A new boundary control law is designed by sliding mode associated with Lyapunov method. It is shown that the boundary feedback states only include the displacement, velocity, and slope of the string at RHS boundary. Asymptotical stability of the control system is proved by the semigroup theory. Finally, finite difference scheme is used to validate the theoretical results.

Abstract In this note, a nonlinear axially moving string is considered. It is proved that the nonlinear string can be stabilized by the linear boundary control, which is the negative feedback of the transversal velocity of the string at one end.
