Constrained Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems with Application to Hypersonic Vehicles
Constraints in input, output, and states are evident in most of the practical systems. Explicitly incorporating these constraints into the control design process leads to its superior performance in general. Therefore, ... -
Constrained Optimal Guidance Design of Interceptors for High-Speed Ballistic Targets
In this thesis, optimal control theory has been applied to design constrained terminal guidance algorithms for interceptor to destroy incoming high speed ballistic targets. There exist several optimal guidance algorithms ... -
Continuous-Curvature Path Planning Using Four Parameter Logistic Curves
Autonomous vehicles perform time and cost effective operations with minimal or no human effort and hence, have the potential to be used in civilian, commercial and military applications. Pertaining to these applications, ... -
Control and Safety of Multi-UAV Systems for Collaborative Payload Transportation and Target Tracking
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in reconnaissance, remote sensing, disaster relief, and agricultural applications. Many applications require multiple UAVs to cooperate to complete the assigned tasks. ... -
Control of shock-induced vortex breakdown in Transonic regime on a slender delta wing body configuration using blowing
Modern high speed aircrafts feature highly swept and low aspect ratio wings, mainly to increase the critical Mach number and reduce the wave drag. A special case of swept wings is wings with triangular planform commonly ... -
Cyclic Pursuit : Variants and Applications
(2018-02-11)The classical n-bugs problem has attracted considerable attention from researchers. This problem stems from the study of movement of a group of animals. In the context of multi- agent systems the problem has been modelled ... -
Decentralized Sustainable Energy Planning For Tumkur District, India
(2010-02-18)The energy-planning involves finding a set of sources and conversion devices so as to meet the energy requirements/demands of all the activities in an optimal manner. This could occur at centralized or decentralized level. ... -
Delamination Modeling and Detection in Composite Structures
(2017-12-12)Composite laminated structures are prone to delamination. Rotorcraft flexbeams, apart from many other aerospace primary load carrying members are made up of composite laminated structures. A delaminated primary load carrying ... -
Demonstration Of Supersonic Combustion In A Combustion Driven Shock-Tunnel
(2011-01-17)For flights beyond Mach 6 ramjets are inefficient engines due to huge total pressure loss in the normal shock systems, combustion conditions that lose a large fraction of the available chemical energy due to dissociation ... -
Design and Analysis of Multifunctional Composites for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The principal aim of this thesis is to analyse the effectiveness of multifunctional composites as intelligent structures to improve mechanical properties and activate additional non-structural features. In order to investigate ... -
Design and Development of 75 mm Fixed-Wing Nano Air Vehicle
