Vibration control of a cantilever beam of varying orientation

We investigate the problem of suppressing the vibrations of a non-linear system with a cantilever beam of varying orientation subject to parametric and direct excitation. It is known that the growth of the response is limited by non-linearity. Therefore, vibration control and high-amplitude response suppressions of the first mode of a cantilever beam can be performed using a simple non-linear feedback law. This control law is based on cubic velocity feedback. The method of multiples scales is used to construct first-order non-linear ordinary differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases. The stability and effects of different system parameters are studied numerically.
