Problems of Modern Control Theory and Optimization of Dynamics of Systems with Distributed Parameters in Mechanics and Physics

The paper considers the problem of damping vibrations of a membrane and a plate with the help of forces distributed over their entire area. The proposed method allows us to consider restrictions not only on the absolute value of the control, but also on the absolute value of the derivatives of the functions that specify the control. Sufficient conditions are given for the initial conditions under which the problem of bringing the system to rest in a finite time is solvable, and the time of bringing to rest is estimated.
