Flow control for the available bit rate service in asynchronous transfer mode networks
… development and performance analysis of a flow control algorithm for the ABR (Available Bit Rate) service category in ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks. ATM is a connection-oriented multiplexing and switching technique, that was developed for broadband-ISDN to transport data and …

Our non-feathered friends: sensing and control in insect-scale flight
… of insect-scale flight. The method builds a linear state-space model from a quasi-impulse response of an aeroelastic system. Second, we seek to better understand possible tradeoffs associated with aerodynamic force production and gyroscopic sensing in insects. In particular, we look at how …

Optimal design of decentralized large-scale systems with low sensitivity to non-linearity
… of complex systems with low sensitivity to nonlinear subsystems is an important problem in engineering and science. When talking about non-linearity, linearization of non-linear control systems is an important technique used in control engineering to analyze the behavior of complex nonlinear …

Stabilizability, controllability and optimal strategies of linear and nonlinear dynamical games
In this work we investigate besides the optimal control theory, also dynamic game theory in case of linear and nonlinear differential systems. In Chapter 1 the most important results of the linear control theory are presented, whereby also for some classical statements modified proof and resuming …

New Multi-Phase Diode Rectifier Average Models for AC and DC Power System Studies
… small signal model for system-level study using linear control theory. A new average modeling approach for three-phase and nine-phase diode rectifiers with improved ac and dc dynamics is proposed in this dissertation. The key assumption is to model the load current using its first-order Taylor …

Analytical Modeling of a Heaving Wave Energy Converter
… Given evidence of successful application of control theory to approximating wave interactions, a linear control theory-based model of a simplified heaving device is proposed, with the necessary wave theory background discussed in detail. The implementation of the model in MATLAB and the …

Active Flight Path Control for an Induced Spin Flight Termination System
In this thesis, we describe a method for controlling the cycle-averaged velocity direction of a fixed-wing aircraft in an unpowered, helical descent. While the aircraft propulsion system is disabled, either intentionally or due to a failure, the aerodynamic control surfaces (aileron, elevator, and …

Improved continuous-time higher harmonic control using H [infinity] methods
… and also increases its operational cost. Passive control techniques have been applied to helicopter vibration suppression, but these methods are generally heavy and are not robust to changes in operating conditions. Feedback control offers the advantages of robustness and potentially higher …

Adaptive control of nonlinear discrete-time systems and its application to control of a flexible-link manipulator
… work are to develop direct and indirect adaptive control strategies for discrete-time nonlinear systems and to investigate the applicability of the proposed schemes to adaptive tracking control of a flexible-link manipulator. The first problem considered is indirect adaptive control of a fully as …

Optimal nonlinear control and estimation using global domain linearization
… teaches that intelligence rests on feedback control. Thus, there are discrete symbols and continuous sensory-motor signals. Sensorimotor dynamics are well-represented by nonlinear differential equations. A possible construction of symbols could be based on equilibria. Language is a symbol …
