Mechatronic Control of Distributed Noise and Vibration: A Lyapunov Approach

Vibration and noise reduce the perceived quality, productivity, and efficiency of many and limit production speeds electromechanical systems. Vibration can cause defects during manufacturing and produce premature failure of finished products due to fatigue. Potential contact with a vibrating system or hearing darnage from a noisy machine can produce a dangerous, unhealthy, and uncomfortable operating environment. Recent advances in computer technology have allowed the development of sophist...
