  • Abstract
    In this paper we consider an optimal control problem for the torsional vibrations of a viscoelastic shaft with attached tip-mass at the free end of the shaft. The control is an external torque applied to the tip-mass. The continuous sub-system (the shaft) is assumed to be composed of a Boltzmann-type material. We apply a combination of finite elements and averaging numerical schemes to compute sub-optimal feedback gains for the distributed parameter model.
