The objective of this paper is to model a thermoelastic beam and use thermoelectric heat actuators dispersed over the beam to control not only its vibration, but also its temperature. The model is represented by two coupled partial differential equations governing the elastic bending displacement and temperature variation over the length of the beam. The partial differential equations are replaced by a set of ordinary differential equations through discretization. The first-order ordinary differential equations are cast in the compact state-space form to be used in the thermoelastic analysis and control. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) is used for control design. An numerical application to a uniform cantilever beam demonstrates the coupling between the temperature and the elastic displacement and feasibility of using thermoelectric actuators in controlling the vibration and temperature simultaneously.

A systematic procedure for deriving the system model of a cable transporter system with arbitrarily time-varying lengths is presented. Two different approaches are used to develop the model, namely, Newton’s Law and Hamilton’s Principle. The derived governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations. The same results are obtained using the two methods. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to obtain an approximate numerical solution of the governing equations by transforming the infinite order partial differential equations into a finite order discretized system. A Lyapunov controller which can both dissipate the vibratory energy and assure the attainment of the desired goal is derived. The validity of the proposed controller is verified by numerical simulation.

From the time that the basic existence and regularity problems for partial differential equations have been solved many interesting new variational and control problems could be studied. In general a differential equation or boundary value problem is used to define a class of admissible functions, and then the problem is that of finding the extrema of a given functional defined on that class of functions.
