Use of the Adjoint Method for Controlling the Mechanical Vibrations of Nonlinear Systems

In this work, the analytical derivation and the computer implementation of the adjoint method are described. The adjoint method can be effectively used for solving the optimal control problem associated with a large class of nonlinear mechanical systems. As discussed in this investigation, the adjoi...
