Abstract
This paper addresses the vibration reduction and disturbance attenuation problems of a flexible arm, which is modeled as a fourth-order partial differential equation. The main control objectives lie in reducing the influence of the disturbance, steering the flexible arm to the desired angular position and suppressing the vibration, simultaneously. To achieve the objectives, firstly, two different disturbance observers are designed. Secondly, we construct boundary controllers based on the two designed disturbance observers and boundary measurable signals. Then, with the two disturbance observers, the boundary disturbance compensation is achieved, and with the constructed boundary controllers, the uniform boundedness of the flexible arm is guaranteed. Moreover, the well-posedness of the closed-loop system under the designed boundary controllers is discussed by means of the operator semigroup theory. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed controllers are demonstrated through simulations and physical experiments.
