Abstract
This paper presents a simple analysis evaluating the stability threshold for magnetically levitated flexible structures using dissipative collocated controllers. It is shown that with such a control structure, the controller that stabilizes a rigid levitated mass can also stabilize a flexible structure with the same overall mass and electrodynamics. This principle has been experimentally demonstrated on flexible single and multi- magnet levitation systems.
