Stabilization control of a 2-mass resonant system based on energy control theory

Stabilization control of a 2-mass system is proposed as one of stabilization methods of multi-DOF systems. The strong point of the proposed method is easy to understand physically, and is based on energy control of the controlled system. Specifically the internal energy of the controlled system is controlled to be zero. Energy control theory is also proposed for a general and physically intuitive control scheme. This control scheme starts from energy conservation law and its basic control theory is simple classic control theory. The validity of the proposed control method is confirmed by simulation and experiments in a 2-mass system.
