Hybrid Regressor and Approximation-Based Adaptive Control of Piezoelectric Flexible Beams

One of the inherent limitations of adaptive regressor control is that the control system would degrade if the host system has unmodeled dynamics. Whereas, adaptive approximation control has the potential for controlling the host system in the presence of external/internal disturbances. Accordingly, this paper is concerned with a combination of both the regressor and approximation techniques for adaptive vibration control of smart beam. The idea...
