SUMMARY:Control of PDE and Delay Systems Inspired by Applications in Fluid
 s and Structures - Professor Miroslav Krstic\, University of California\, 
 San Diego

DESCRIPTION:Transport PDEs\, alternatively referred to as pure delays\, wh
 en suitably interconnected among one another or with ODEs\, can model a nu
 mber of processes involving fluids and flexible structures\, including ext
 rusion in 3D printing\, engine cooling in ships\, thermoacoustic instabili
 ties in combustors\, aeroelasticity/flutter\, slugging in oil risers\, sti
 ck-slip instability in deep oil drilling\, and cantilever twist dynamics i
 n atomic force microscopes. I will present a sequence of control designs f
 or such systems that grow in structural complexity from a simple delay-int
 o-an-ODE cascade structure to multiple hyperbolic PDEs with domain-wide di
 stributed feedback interconnections.
