This paper presents a modified input shaping method to reduce the motion-induced vibration of a linear time-varying system after a rest-to-rest motion. Shaping parameters were obtained using the concept of modal-filtered impulse response. The conventional shaping method can be said just a special case of the proposed shaping method. The effectiveness of this proposing method was checked using some examples of both moderate and considerably fast time-varying systems. With a rest-to-rest motion control of a two-link flexible manipulator, this study also demonstrates that this method can be expanded to nonlinear cases.
