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 …

Recent interest in high-speed scanning probe microscopy for high-throughput applications
including video-rate atomic force microscopy and probe-based nanofabrication has sparked …

This paper investigates the robustness of positive-position feedback control of flexible
structures with colocated force actuators and position sensors. In particular, the theory of …

The design, identification, and control of a novel, flexure-based, piezoelectric stack-actuated
XY nanopositioning stage are presented in this paper. The main goal of the design is to …

In this paper, we propose a control design method for single-link flexible manipulators. The
proposed technique is based on the integral resonant control (IRC) scheme. The controller …

This paper demonstrates a simple second-order controller that eliminates scan-induced
oscillation and provides integral tracking action. The controller can be retrofitted to any …

An XYZ nanopositioner is designed for fast the atomic force microscopy. The first resonant
modes of the device are measured at 8.8, 8.9, and 48.4 kHz along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes …

A transfer-function is said to be negative imaginary if the corresponding frequency response
function has a negative definite imaginary part (on the positively increasing imaginary axis) …

Integral resonant control (IRC) has been recently introduced as a simple, robust and high‐
performance technique for vibration control of smart structures instrumented with collocated …

Abstract In this paper, Active Vibration Control (AVC) of a rectangular carbon fibre composite
plate with free edges is presented. The plate is subjected to out-of-plane excitation by a …
