Abstract: Linearized governing equations are often used in analysis, design, and control applications for dynamical systems. Linearized equations of motion can be formed in either an indirect or direct ...

Abstract: Nonlinear equations of motion are often linearized, especially for stability analysis and control design applications. Traditionally, the full nonlinear equations are formed and then linearized ...

Abstract: The Poincaré equations, also known as Lagrange’s equations in quasicoordinates, are revisited with special attention focused on a diagonal form. The diagonal form stems from a special choice ...
