Abstract
Exact controllability of a multilayer plate system with free boundary conditions are obtained by the method of Carleman estimates. The multilayer plate system is a natural multilayer generalization of a three-layer sandwich plate'' system due to Rao and Nakra. In the multilayer version, $m$ shear deformable layers alternate with $m+1$ layers modeled under Kirchoff plate assumptions. The resulting system involves $m+1$ Lame systems coupled with a scalar Kirchhoff plate equation. The controls are taken to be distributed in a neighborhood of the boundary. This paper is the sequel to [2] in which only clamped and hinged boundary conditions are considered.
