Modelling, simulation and control of nonlinear flexural-flexural-inextensional rotating beam / by Yun Zhao. --

Abstract

"A continuous rotating beam that undergoes flexure about two principal axes is modelled. The beam is characterized by gyroscopic type nonlinearities. The beam is of significant importance for applications such as large space structures, helicopter rotor blades, robot manipulators and long-span structures."--Abstract.
