For the problem of stabilizing a non‐Newton mechanical system with input delay, a pattern‐based state‐feedback controller is proposed. At the beginning of the paper, pattern‐based dynamic description is introduced, and a discrete‐time state‐space model with input delay (DSMID) is obtained from the description method. Then based on the DSMID, an augmentation state‐space model without input delay is built by using the lifting technique. A stabilization method is put forward, and the relationship between stability and the feature of output‐class partition is given. At last, two simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
