Abstract
In this paper treated is the impedance-matching wave absorption control of rope system near fixed end. The rope system is approximated by finite difference method and the end-element is controlled to absorb the vibration energy of rope system. The imaginary system in a controller that is constructed by the same elements as those of the controlled system with the impedance matching condition at the end is connected to the end element by the control force. The simulation has confirmed that the finite difference approximated system based control has enough effect to the distributed rope system. Also the results have verified by the experiment.
