System Identification of a Nonlinear Flight Dynamics Model for a Small, Fixed-Wing UAV
This thesis describes the development of a nonlinear flight dynamics model for a small, fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Models developed for UAVs can be used for many applications including risk analysis, controls system design and flight simulators. Several challenges exist for system …

Adaptive control design with guaranteed margins for nonlinear plants
… and analysis of adaptive control for general nonlinear plants.An augmented adaptive control architecture is proposed where a nominal controller is designed in the inner-loop with an adaptive controller in the outer-loop. The architecture is completed by addressing three separate problems. The …

Analysis of the Out-of-Control Falling Leaf Motion using a Rotational Axis Coordinate System
The realm of aircraft flight dynamics analysis reaches from local static stability to global dynamic behavior. It includes aircraft performance issues as well as structural concerns. In the particular aspect of dynamic motions of an aircraft and how we understand them, an alternate coordinate …
