Abstract: The linear equations of motion of a uniform flexible slewing link which were derived via Hamilton’s Extended Principle are considered. These equations account for the coupling between bending ...

Abstract: A new framework for multiple vehicle system modeling and control is proposed in this paper, emphasizing team behavior in a multilevel, multiresolutional way. This framework integrates issues like ...

Abstract: In the design of a control system, it is often desirable to operate at the peak of an appropriate performance surface which characterizes the performance of the closed-loop operation. However, ...

Abstract: The sampled-data boundary control problem for a longitudinal flexible bar is formulated as a linear discrete-time control problem in an infinite-dimensional state space. With zero-order-hold applied ...

Abstract: Implementation of discrete-time sliding mode control on a sampled-data system leads to sliding motion in an O(T2) boundary layer of the discontinuity surface, where T is the sampling period. A ...
