A chara.cteristic impedance end point controller was designed for a Bernoulli-Euler beam which nulls reflections of traveling waves at the boundaries of the beam. This controller was designed without truncation of the beam model. It was also designed without consideration of modes. The controller was designed to have the same funlctional form as the characteristic impedance of the beam so that the beam appeared to be semi-infinite, and no waves were reflected from the boundary to which the controller was attached. This was analogous to the characteristic termination of an electrical transmission line. The control law included a 2 x 2 mlatrix and used linea.r and angular velocity information from the tip of the beam to produce a seperate control force and moment. There were two cases which were the subject of experimentation. The first wa.s a. clamped-free beam which was studied because of its general nature and could be applied to flexible space structures. The second case was a clamped-sliding beam which was used to model a Remote Center Compliance device which is a flexible device used in close-tolerance robotic assembly. The clamlped-sliding beam had no angular motion at the tip so that it was not possible to match the characteristic impedance of the beam. However, by using a fractional derivative controller (/) it was possible to control vibrations at the tip. Digital simulations for a free-free beaml and a clamped-free beam showed that the characteristic impedance controller damped out vibrations effectively. The simulations also showed that the fractional derivative controller controls vibrations in the clamped-sliding beam. The digital simulations assumed gains that required hefty control actu-ators. The experimental actuators were made with piezoelectric polymer film which made very low-gain actuators. Eve so, they were able to improve the damping of the beams. The settling time for the clamped-free beam was reduced by a factor of 4, and the damping factor for the clamped-sliding beam was increased 152%. ii AC'KNOWLEDGEMENT I would first of all like to thank Jim Hubbard for taking me in as one of his students when I had olly a. flillsy idea. of what I wanted to do. His patience anld faith helped kee l) me sane. I would also like to thank everyone in the Structures for their help and conl)a.llionshil); they have actually made the crunch at the end a good time. I only wish I had started working with them sooner. Thanks …
