Over the last few decades, extensive use of flexible manipulators in various robotic
applications has made it as one of the research interests for many scholars over the world …

The installation of wind energy increased in the last twenty years, as its cost decreased, and
it contributes to reducing GHG emissions. A race toward gigantism characterizes wind …

We present an active control method for achieving non-collocated vibration absorption,
implemented on a lumped mass system. The task of suppressing vibrations at a number of …

Considering the variety of uncertainties and disturbances in real active vibration control
systems, a novel piezoelectric multimode control strategy for an all-clamped stiffened plate …

A novel strategy is proposed to actively tune the vibration and wave propagation properties
in elastic beams. By periodically placing the piezoelectric actuator/sensor pairs along the …

A generally applicable spectral design to realize noncollocated vibration suppression
performed primarily by a delayed resonator (DR) is presented. The vibration suppression is …

The active vibration control of a free rectangular sandwich plate by using the Positive
Position Feedback (PPF) algorithm was experimentally investigated in a previous study …

Flexible actuators, as the main components of soft robots and intelligent structures, can
produce reversible mechanical deformations in response to external environmental stimuli …

Piezo-actuated compliant morphing structures can transmit motion and force via elastic
deformation with lower weight, simplified design, and higher accuracy, a typical example is …

Abstract Space manipulators are flexible structures. Vibration problem will be unavoidable
due to motion or external disturbance excitation. Model based control methods will not …
