“…It is also found that to describe the active control of vibrations, the state-space model can accurately represent the system without sacrificing its simplicity. Trajectory control using forward and inverse dynamics methods [Judd and Falkenburg, 1985] (7) , [Dado and Soni, 1986] (19) and effect of gravity [Luca and Siciliano, 1993] (134) on the motion of flexible links were studied in one or two papers. Few authors recommended the use of nonlinear beam theory ([Simo and Vu-Quoc, 1987] (23) , [Hu and Ulsoy, 1994] (28) ) to account for geometric nonlinearities and a nonlinear controller ([Marino and Spong, 1986] (35) , [Khorrami et al, 1995] (135) ) for effentrol of flexible manipulators.…”
