Stabilization of a rotating body beam without damping
This paper deals with the stabilization of a rotating body-beam system with torque control. The system we consider is the one studied by Baillieul and Levi in [1], In [12] it has been proved by Su and Baillieul that, for any constant angular velocity smaller than a critical one, this system can be stabilized by means of a feedback torque control law if there is damping. We prove that this result also holds if there is no damping.
