This paper deals with a controlled beam equation for which the input is subject to magnitude saturation. A partial differential equation describes the dynamics of the deflection of the beam with respect to the rest position. The input is the voltage applied on an actuator located in a given interval of the space domain. Two kinds of control are considered: a static controller and a dynamical one. In both cases, the saturated control is indeed applied to the beam equation. By closing the loop with such a nonlinear control, it is thus obtained a nonlinear partial differential equation, which is the generalization of the classical beam equation. The well-posedness is proven by using nonlinear semigroups techniques. Considering a generalized sector condition to tackle the control nonlinearity, the semi-global asymptotic stabilization system is proven by Lyapunov-based arguments.
