“…As it has been earlier noted, the use of a clamped cantilever beam to demonstrate and compare damping capability of both actuators and algorithms is very common in academic literature [9,30,42,56,76,79,[92][93][94]. Moreover, a simple laboratory hardware like the AVC demonstrator considered here may represent the dynamic behavior of a class of lightly damped mechanical systems 1 such as rotary or fixed wings in aircraft [3,6,18,19,53,58], solar panels and antenna masts [1,36,51,59] and others [69,72].…”
