Dynamic Modeling and Boundary Control of Flexible Axially Moving System

The main objectives of the book are to introduce the design method of boundary control strategies for the axially moving structures to reduce their vibration. This book provides the reader with a thorough grounding in the boundary controller design. Our goal is to provide advanced boundary controller design methods and their stability analysis methods and offer simulation examples and MATLAB programs for each boundary control algorithm. For each chapter, several engineering application examples are given and the contents of each chapter in this book are independent, so that readers can just read their own needs. In this book, all the control algorithms and their programs are described separately and classified by the chapter name, which can be run successfully in MATLAB. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of PDE modeling and boundary vibration control of flexible structures.
