1 MATLAB-Based Flight-Dynamics and Flutter Modeling of a Flexible Flying-Wing Research Drone Dr. David K. Schmidt University of Colorado [email protected] Abstract A relatively low-order, linear dynamic model is developed for the longitudinal flightdynamics analysis of a flexible, flying-wing research drone, and results are compared to previously published results. The model includes the dynami...

This thesis deals with the development of advanced mathematical models for the assessment of the influence of chassis flexibility on vehicle handling qualities. A review of the literature relevant to the subject is presented and discussed in the first part of the thesis. A preliminary model that includes chassis flexibility is then developed and employed for a first assessment of the significan...

Support The article deals with the problem of modeling movement passengers in interior a vehicle using example an airport bus. Such will allow automating process optimizing layout salon, provide comfortable conditions for and improve fullness salon. When dynamics passenger movement, paradigm agen-toriented programming, based on social intelligence, was used. A class extremely simplified discret...

Underwater vehicle-manipulator (UVM) systems have been suggested for inspection, maintenance, repair and construction of underwater structures. The addition of manipulators to the vehicle makes control of the system more difficult due to the interaction forces between vehicle and manipulator. So, the efficient compensation of those interactions should be considered for accurate control of both ...

This paper treats the practical and challenging control problem of tracking a prescribed continuous trajectory for an autonomous vehicle in the presence of gravity, buoyancy, fluid dynamic and other forces and moments that are uncertain. These uncertain forces and moments are bounded and may be difficult to model accurately, but they act persistently or over long periods of time. The trajectory...

The paper focusses on optimal control issues arising in semi-active vehicle suspension motivated by the application of continuously controllable ERF-shock absorbers. Optimality of the damping control is measured by an objective consisting of a weighted sum of criteria related to safety and comfort which depend on the state variables of the vehicle dynamics model. In the case of linear objective...

Most existing ESC (Electronic Stability Control) systems rely on the measurement of both yaw rate and sideslip angle. However, one of the main issues is that the sideslip angle cannot be measured directly because the sensors are too expensive. For this reason, sideslip angle estimation has been widely discussed in the relevant literature. The modeling of sideslip angle is complex due to the non...
