A PINNED NETWORK OF EULER-BERNOULLI BEAMS UNDER FEEDBACK CONTROLS

In this paper, the authors design boundary feedback controllers at the interior node to stabilize a star-shaped network of Euler-Bernoulli beams. The beams are pinned each other, that is, the displacements of the structure are continuous but the rotations of the beams are not continuous. The weil-posed-ness of the closed loop system is proved by the semigroup theory. The authors show that the system is asymptotically stable if the authors impose a bending moment control on each edge. Finally, the authors derive the exponential stability of the system.
