We try to stabilize steady solutions of a physical model described by wave equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. This system is a distributed parameter system in which ideal turbulence, introduced by Sharkovsky et al., occurs. Although the behavior of the system is quite intricate both in time and space, by using d'Alembert's solution, the analysis of the dynamic characteristics can be reduced to that of a finite-dimensional difference equation. In this report, based on this analytical method using d'Alembert's solution, we design control laws to stabilize steady solutions (equilibrium solutions and periodic solutions) and synchronize a pair of identical systems.

Abstract In this paper, the time-optimal control of the wave equation is derived in closed form. A frequency domain approach is used to obtain the time-optimal solution which is bang-off-bang. The system studied in this paper is a uniform flexible rod with a control input at each end, whose dynamics in axial vibration is represented by the wave equation. In order to verify the optimality of the control profile derived for the distributed parameter system, the system is discretized in space and a series of time-optimal control problems are solved for the finite dimensional model, with increasing number of flexible modes. In the limit, the controllers show the convergence of the first and final switch of the bang-bang controller of the finite dimensional system to the first and final switch of the bang-off-bang controller of the distributed parameter system, in addition to the convergence of the maneuver time. The number of switches in between the first and final switch is a function of the order of the finite dimensional system. The maneuver time of the distributed parameter system is compared to that of an equivalent rigid system and the coincidence of the time-optimal controller for the flexible and rigidized systems is illustrated for certain maneuvers.

Abstract The problem of calculating the dynamic response of a one-dimensional distributed parameter system excited by an oscillator traversing the system with an arbitrarily varying speed is investigated. An improved series representation for the solution is derived that takes into account the jump in the shear force at the point of the attachment of the oscillator, which makes it possible to efficiently calculate the distributed shear force and, where applicable, bending moment. The improvement is achieved through the introduction of the “quasi-static” solution, an approximation to the desired one, which makes it possible to apply to the moving oscillator problem the “mode-acceleration” technique conventionally used for acceleration of series in problems related to the steady-state vibration of distributed systems. Numerical results illustrating the efficiency of the method are presented.

Studies of the use of oscillations for control purposes continue to reveal new practically important properties unique to the oscillatory open and closed loop control laws. The goal of this paper is to enlarge the available set of analytical tools for such studies by introducing a method of analysis of the qualitative changes in the behavior of dynamical systems caused by the zero mean parametric excitations. After summarizing and slightly refining a technique developed previously for the finite dimensional nonlinear systems, we consider an extension of this technique to a class of distributed parameter systems (DPS) governed by semilinear parabolic equations. The technique presented is illustrated by several examples.
