Active Vibration Control Synthesis Using Viscoelastic Damping Phenomena
(2011-07-12)In this thesis, a new method is followed to design an active control system which imparts viscoelastic phenomenological damping in an elastic structure. Properties of a hypothetical viscoelastic system are used to design ... -
Innovative Optimal Guidance of Spacecrafts for Soft-Landing on Atmosphere-less Celestial Bodies
Nonlinear trajectory optimization based optimal guidance schemes are presented in this thesis for soft-landing of spacecrafts on atmosphere-less celestial bodies. First, a pseudo-spectral philosophy based multi-phase ...
