This paper addresses the problems of designing and analysing a set of stable and robust controls for nonlinear systems whose equations are representative of mechanical systems such as robot manipulators. When applied to robotics, this theoretical analysis proves that most of the control schemes whi

✦ Synopsis
The damping mechanisms associated with #ow/structure interactions are, in general, considered to be non-linear. In this paper, the #uid}elastic instability of a tube in a heat exchanger is controlled using a tunable damper and the sti!ness and damping associated with the #ow-induced non-linearities are determined using the force-state mapping technique. The analysis of the results clearly indicates a linear destabilising #uid mechanism but also identi"es non-linear damping and sti!ness forces which are consistent with both the experimental behaviour and theoretical models for the instability.

This paper presents a method for experimentally identifying the parameters of a lightly damped non-linear system with an odd restoring force, as represented by the Du$ng equation. It requires only a single free vibration test to determine the variation of the natural frequency with the decaying ampl
