Abstract: In this paper, finitetime attitude coordinated control for spacecraft formation flying (SFF) subjected to input saturation is investigated. More specifically, a bounded finitetime state feedback control law is first developed ...

Abstract: A strongly nonlinear rotor-bearing system often has multiple solutions under harmonic excitations and jump phenomena. For example, a hardening nonlinearity may include a jump-down in the acceleration process and jump-up ...

Abstract: The energy balancing concept seeks to reduce actuation requirements for a morphing structure by strategically locating negative stiffness devices to tailor the required deployment forces and moments. One such device is the ...
