Summary
A hybrid control system is presented as consisting of an elastic beam linked to a rigid body, and the system is asymptotically stabilized through feedback boundary damping. Solutions of the hybrid system are constructed that decay towards zero at nonexponential, even arbitrarily slow, decay rates. This feedback control analysis complements the authors' earlier report on the open-loop controllability of this same hybrid system, which is a simplified model of a space-structure.
