Fast Evaluation of Demagnetizing Field in Three Dimensional Micromagnetics using Multipole Approximation
(2001)
Computational micromagnetics in three dimensions is of increasing interest with the development of magnetostrictivesensors and actuators. <p>In solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, the governing equation of ...
Control of Hysteresis in Smart Actuators with Application to Micro-Positioning
(2003)
Hysteresis in smart material actuators makes the effective use of these actuators quite challenging. The Preisach operator has been widely used to model smart material hysteresis. Motivated by positioning applications of ...
Fast Evaluation of Demagnetizing Field in Three Dimensional Micromagnetics using Multipole Approximation
(2000)
Computational micromagnetics in three dimensions is of increasing interest with the development of magnetostrictive sensors andactuators. In solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, the governing equation of ...
Computing Balanced Realizations for Nonlinear Systems
(2000)
This paper addresses the problem of computability pertaining to the Scherpen(1994) theory and procedure for balancing of nonlinear systems. In contrastto Moore's (1981) balancing method for linear systems, the Scherpen ...
Computational Micromagnetics for Magnetostrictive Actuators
(2000)
Computational micromagnetics plays an important role in design and control of magnetostrictive actuators. A systematic approach to calculate magnetic dynamics and magnetostriction is presented. A finite difference method ...
Adaptive Wavefront Control using a Nonlinear Zernike Filter
(2001)
A conventional Zernike filter measures wavefront phase by superimposing the aberrated input beam with a phase-shifted version of its zero-orderspectral component. The Fourier-domain phase-shifting is performed by afixed ...
A Simple Control Law for UAV Formation Flying
(2002)
This paper presents a Lie group setting for the problem of control of formations, as a natural outcome of the analysis of a planar two-vehicle formation control law. <p>The vehicle trajectories are described using planar ...
The Hannay-Berry Phase of the Vibrating Ring Gyroscop
(2004)
In an analysis published in 1890 G.H. Bryan investigated the retrograde precession of the nodal points in a vibrating, rotating shell and wrote down a formula relating the rate of precession to the rate of rotation. This ...
Control of Small Formations Using Shape Coordinates
(2003)
Formations that contain a small number of robots are modeled as controlled Lagrangian systems on Jacobi shape space. This allows a block-structured control of position, orientation and shape of the formation. Feedback ...
Nonlinear Analysis of a High-Resolution Optical Wave-Front Control System
(2001)
A class of feedback systems for high-resolution optical wave-front control(or adaptive optic wave-front distortion suppression) is modeled andanalyzed. Under certain conditions, the nonlinear dynamical system modelsobtained ...
