Passivity Analysis of Nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli Beams

The Lagrangian equations for distributed-parameter systems based on Hamilton's principle are developed. These equations are subsequently used to derive nonlinear models for beams. The passivity properties of the flexible mechanical systems based on their distributed-parameter models are then in...
