Abstract: This work considers a class of nonlinear systems whose feedback controller is generated via the solution of a State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) as proposed in Banks and Manha and Cloutier. ...

Abstract: The focus of this paper is the stabilization of vehicle motion to a prescribed path while integrating an increased subset of vehicle inputs than was previously attempted. The integration of ...

Abstract: This paper presents analysis of a particular force tracking control problem for rectilinear hydraulic actuators governed by a servovalve. It presents no new theory, but rather uses a revealing ...

Abstract: In this paper the modeling of a typical injection cycle for an injection-molding machine (IMM) is examined. Both the mold filling and mold packing phases of the cycle are examined along with ...

Abstract: Coordination of the power distribution in a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) electro-hydraulic transmission is investigated for the case of an earthmoving vehicle powertrain. A generalized model of ...
