Inverse Optimal Stabilization of Dynamical Systems by Wiener Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper formulates and solves new problems of inverse optimal stabilization and inverse optimal stabilization with gain assignment for nonlinear systems by Wiener processes. First, a theorem is developed to design inverse ...
Inverse Optimal Boundary Tracking Control and Observer Design for a One-Link Rotating Flexible Arm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new design of an inverse optimal boundary control law is first proposed to force a one-link rotating flexible arm with a tip mass subject to bounded disturbances to track a reference model. The proposed boundary control ...
Stabilization of a Rigid Body in Two Fluids With Surface Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper poses and solves a stabilization problem of a rigid body governed by nonlinear differential equations in two viscous incompressible fluids governed by Navier–Stokes equations (NSEs), where surface tension of the ...
Inverse Optimal Control for Maximizing Harvested Energy From Dynamical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper formulates and solves a new problem of inverse optimal control to maximize harvested energy from dynamical systems induced by external excitations. An inverse optimal control law is designed to minimize a cost ...
Stability of Nonlinear Stochastic Distributed Parameter Systems and Its Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: and additive stochastic disturbances. These systems do not need to satisfy global Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. First, the nonlinear SDPSs are transformed to stochastic evolution systems (SESs), which are governed by stochastic ordinary differential...
Boundary Control of Slender Beams Under Deterministic and Stochastic Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper first derives equations of motion of extensible and shearable slender beams with large motions under both deterministic and stochastic external loads. Boundary feedback controllers are then proposed to achieve ...
Influence of Footing Dimensions on Early-Age Temperature Development and Cracking in Concrete Footings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Global Path Following Control of Stochastic Underactuated Ships: A Level Curve Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A level curve approach is introduced to design global pathfollowing controllers for an underactuated surface ship. The approach is based on the observation: if the position of the ship satisfies the equation of the reference ...
Path Tracking Control of Stochastic Quadrotor Aircraft in Three Dimensional Space
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Despite the fact that environmental loads (forces and moments) induced by wind on quadrotor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft consist of both deterministic and stochastic components, all existing works on ...
Forwarding Control Design for Strict-Feedforward Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new recursive forwarding method to design control laws that globally asymptotically stabilize strict-feedforward systems, of which Jacobian linearization at the origin might not be stabilizable. At ...
