Nonlinear control systems and methods address the complexities inherent in systems whose outputs are not directly proportional to their inputs. These approaches involve a range of strategies – from ...

Differential equations and systems analysis. Undergraduate controls and/or signal processing course would satisfy this requirement. A graduate-level systems course is also helpful, but not necessary.

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...
