Abstract
This paper is concerned with tracking control of a dynamic model consisting 
of a flexible beam rotated by a motor in a horizontal plane at the one end and a 
tip body rigidly attached at the free end. The well-posedness of the closed loop 
systems considering the dissipative nonlinear boundary feedback is discussed and 
the asymptotic stability about difference energy of the hybrid system is also investigated.
