Error analysis for harmonic tracking algorithm using geometric control
Geometric Control Theory was initiated in the beginning of the 1970's and has now became a well established approach in addressing problems of tracking and disturbance rejections of time independent and dependent signals. This thesis describes the error analysis for time-dependent harmonic signal …

On properties of linear control systems on Lie groups
In this work we study controllability properties of linear control systems on Lie groups as introduced by Ayala and Tirao in [AT99]. A linear control system _x0006_Σ Lie group G is defined by x' = X(x) + Σ<sup>k</sup><sub>j=1</sub> u<sub>j</sub>Y<sub>j</sub>(x), where the drift vector field X is an …

Design, Analysis, and Optimization of Vibrational Control Strategies
This dissertation presents novel vibrational control strategies for mechanical control-affine systems with high-frequency, high-amplitude inputs. Since these control systems use high-frequency, zero-mean, periodic inputs, averaging techniques are widely used in the analysis of their dynamics. By …

Mechanics of Flapping Flight: Analytical Formulations of Unsteady Aerodynamics, Kinematic Optimization, Flight Dynamics and Control
… analyses, flight dynamics analysis, and control synthesis. Second, wing kinematics optimization is considered for both aerodynamic performance and maneuverability. For each case, an infinite-dimensional optimization problem is formulated using the calculus of variations to relax any …
