Clamped Beam

Description: Clamped Beam Model

This benchmark models a cantilever beam, which is a beam clamped on one end. More details can be found in and , .

For larger beam-type benchmarks see the linear 1d beam and electrostatic beam benchmarks.

Origin

This benchmark is part of the SLICOT Benchmark Examples for Model Reduction.

Data

The system matrices $A$, $B$, $C$ are available from the SLICOT benchmarks page: beam.zip and are stored as MATLAB .mat file.

Dimensions

System structure:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \dot{x}(t) &=& Ax(t) + Bu(t) \\ y(t) &=& Cx(t) \end{array}$

System dimensions:

$A \in \mathbb{R}^{348 \times 348}$, $B \in \mathbb{R}^{348 \times 1}$, $C \in \mathbb{R}^{1 \times 348}$.
