“…In recent years, the dynamic analysis and vibration control design of flexible riser systems have made important achievements. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] For the practical marine flexible riser system, there often exist input nonlinearities which include the input deadzone, 22,23 saturation, 2,24,25 backlash, 26,27 hysteresis, 28,29 parameter uncertainty, and so on. These nonlinearities and uncertainty often lead to deterioration of system performance.…”
