Decay rate of pH systems with boundary dissipation
The multiplier approach is applied to a class of port-Hamiltonian systems with boundary dissipation to establish exponential decay. The exponential stability of port-Hamiltonian systems has been studied and sufficient conditions obtained. Here the decay rate $Me^{-\alpha t}$ is established with $M$ and $\alpha$ are in terms of system parameters. This approach is illustrated by several examples, in particular, boundary stabilization of a piezoelectric beam with magnetic effects.
