This paper concerns a discrete time control of noncolocated flexible mechanical systems by using time delay relation. A stability criterion of closed-loop system is derived in discrete time domain and a graphic method is developed for designing controllers. Based on this method, a derivative controller is designed for a simply supported uniform beam in the cases of colocation without time delay and of noncolocation with time delay. Some simulation results show the effectiveness of the suggested control.
