This paper presents the vibration control of the flexible rotating beam with a tip mass. Modeling and control of a flexible rotating beam has received a great deal of attention. When a tip mass of a flexible beam is a rigid body, not only bending vibration but also torsional vibration will occur. In this paper, the bending and torsion vibrations and rigid-body motion are governed by the nonlinear coupled partial differential equations associated with a set of nonlinear boundary conditions. The coupling provides the opportunity to suppress the flexible vibration by control torque applying to the rotating beam. A new variable structure control (VSC) law designed by Lyapunov''s direct method is proposed for vibration suppression and tracking control simultaneously. Asymptotic stability of the controlled system is proved. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the controller design.The rigid body motion and flexible vibration system can be controlled because of their coupling terms in governing equations. Due to the applying of new variable structure control method, the derived algorithm ensures that system satisfies the reaching conditions and stability conditions. By selecting a suitable sliding mode function, new variable structure control can design a controller for the propose of position regulation and speed control and sliding mode exist. The new VSC controller prevents the chattering and the control force prevents closing infinite. Although the design procedure of VSC is simple, numerical results have shown that the proposed VSC not only very effective eliminates the vibration of the flexible vibration of the rotating beam, but also keeps good tracking performance. In speed control, the sliding mode design is different from position control. The speed error is closed to zero that means rotating speed is closed to our target speed. Using the PDA controller law, no information of the flexible deformations is needed and the system is globally stable. The PDA controller is simulation results reveal that this controller is effective for regulation and vibration control.The design procedure of vibration control can also be applied to any other rigid body motion and flexible vibration coupled system.
