Nonlinear Observer Design for a Nonlinear Cable/String FEM Model using Contraction Theory

Contraction theory is a recently developed nonlinear analysis tool which may be useful for solving a variety of nonlinear control problems. In this paper, using Contraction theory, a nonlinear observer is designed for a general nonlinear cable/ string FEM (Finite Element Method) model. The cable mod...
