Output-Based Stabilization of Timoshenko Beam with the Boundary Control and Input Distributed Delay

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the output-feedback exponential stabilization of Timoshenko beam with the boundary control and input distributed delay. Suppose that the outputs of controllers are of the formswhere u 1 (t) and u 2 (t) are the inputs of controllers. Using the tricks of the Luenberger observer and partial state predictor, we translate the system with delay into a system without delay. And then, we design the feedback controls to stabilize the system without delay. Finally, we prove that under the choice of such controls, the original system also is stabilized exponentially.
