Scaled Output Consensus for Euler–Bernoulli Beam Networks Under Dual Communication Graphs
Abstract
This paper studies scaled output consensus for a network of Euler-Bernoulli beam systems subject to external disturbances acting through all channels. The boundary feedback in slope and angular velocity is transmitted over two distinct communication graphs. A virtual disturbance aggregator and an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC)-based scheme are developed to estimate and reject the total disturbance entering the control channel, while a virtual leader reformulates the objective as leader-follower synchronization. Exponential stability of the closed-loop error system is proved mainly using the Huang-Prüss criterion, yielding scaled output consensus. Numerical experiments validate the proposed approach.
