Robust Nonlinear Control Theory with Applications to Aerospace Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The focus of this program is fundamental research in general methods of analysis and design of complex uncertain nonlinear systems. Our approach builds on our recent success in blending robust and nonlinear control methods with a much greater emphasis on the use of local and global techniques in nonlinear dynamical systems theory. Speci c areas of interest include real-time trajectory generation for unmanned aerial vehicles, geometric mechanics and nonlinear stabilization, and uni ed techniques for stabilization of nonlinear systems that combine model predictive control techniques with control Lyapunov function techniques.

Definition of General Operator Space and The s-gap Metric for Measuring Robust Stability of Control Systems with Nonlinear Dynamics
In the recent decades, metrics have been introduced as mathematical tools to determine the robust stability of the closed loop control systems. However, the metrics drawback is their limited applications in the closed loop control systems with nonlinear dynamics. As a solution in the literature, applying the metric theories to the linearized models is suggested. In this paper, we show that usin...

The control of aerospace vehicles, such as manned/ unmanned airplanes, hypersonic vehicles, satellites, and missiles, has attracted a great amount of interest in recent years owing to the rapid development of potential application areas. Modern aerospace vehicles often employ large, complex, and lightweight structures, which result in these space structures being extremely flexible and having l...
متن کاملVibration Suppression of Fuel Sloshing using Subband Adaptive Filtering (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the main vibration problems of aerospace vehicles with liquid fuel propulsion system is fuel sloshing. This phenomenon is a low frequency vibrational challenge which can affect the motion of the vehicle and degrade the stability of the main control system. In this regards, the motion of the liquid will be very critical when the frequency of the sloshing is very close to the frequencies o...
متن کاملQuantized Control with Applications to Mobile Vehicles
In this paper we develop a theory of stabilizing singleinput nonlinear affine systems using quantized feedback. We construct a stabilizing quantizer based on a control Lyapunov function (CLF), and a robustly stabilizing quantizer based on a robust control Lyapunov function (RCLF). We characterize the coarsest quantizer under certain conditions. The special features of several classes of nonline...
