CONTROLLER SYNTHESIS AND FORMAL BEHAVIOR INFERENCE IN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
(2021)Autonomous systems are widely used in crucial applications such as surveillance,defense, reghting, and search & rescue operations. Many of these application require systems to satisfy user-dened requirements describing the ... -
Selected Problems in Many-Revolution Trajectory Optimization Using Q-Law
(2021)Q-Law is a Lyapunov guidance law for low-thrust trajectory design. Most prior implementations of Q-Law were limited to relatively simple low-thrust transfers. This work aims to improve the optimality, usability, and ... -
Cylinder-Airfoil Interactions and the Effect on Airfoil Performance
(2021)From micro air vehicles flying in the wake of buildings to aircraft operating in ship airwakes, turbulent flows generate unsteady aerodynamic loads on airfoils that may promote structural failure, loss of flight control, ... -
Global Nonlinear Modeling Using Automated Local Model Networks in Real Time
(2021)Global nonlinear modeling is a challenging task that spans multiple disciplines. When it is necessary to develop a model across the global input space, and a single linear model is insufficient, nonlinear modeling methods ... -
Modeling Viscoelastic Behavior Using Flexible Multibody Dynamics Formulations
(2020)Viscoelastic behavior is frequently observed in dynamical flexible multibody systems. In the simplest form it is manifested in one dimensional revolute and prismatic joints. Beyond which more complex force elements such ...
