Independent Pitch Adaptive Control of Large Wind Turbines Using State Feedback and Disturbance Accommodating Control

open access: yesEnergies
Wind turbines experience significant unbalanced loads during operation, exacerbated by external disturbances that challenge the stability of the pitch control system and affect output power.

A piloted simulator study on augmentation systems to improve helicopter flying qualities in terrain flight [PDF]

open access: yes
Four basic single-rotor helicopters, one teetering, on articulated, and two hingeless, which were found to have a variety of major deficiencies in a previous fixed-based simulator study, were selected as baseline configurations. The stability and control

Aircraft control system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
An aircraft control system is described which is particularly suited to rotary wing aircraft. Longitudinal acceleration and course rate commands are derived from a manual control stick to control translational velocity of the aircraft along a flight path.

Hierarchical Summary Statistics Encoding Across Primary Visual and Posterior Parietal Cortices

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single‐neuron variability. These signals propagate to PPC, where they are transformed into abstract category representations during decision making.

Numerical investigation of rotor loads of a shipborne coaxial-rotor helicopter during a vertical landing based on moving overset mesh method

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2019
Coupled ship/coaxial-rotor simulations have been conducted to investigate the rotor loads of a shipborne coaxial-rotor helicopter during a vertical landing based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver.

Comparison of an island wind turbine collective and individual pitch LQG controllers designed to alleviate fatigue loads

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, 2012
This study aims to analyse different linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controllers' performances in terms of reducing the fatigue load of wind turbines' (WT) most costly components caused by the spatial turbulence of wind speed. Five LQGs with increasing control model complexity and a greater number of objectives are designed, the first four with ...

A summary of rotorcraft handling qualities research at NASA Ames Research Center [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The objectives of the rotorcraft handling qualities research program at Ames Research Center are twofold: (1) to develop basic handling qualities design criteria to permit cost effective design decisions to be made for helicopters, and (2) to obtain ...

A Central Somatic Transmission Mediates Proprioceptive Facilitation of Muscle Pain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Zhang et al. uncover a novel central mechanism for persistent muscle pain, in which TRPA1 sensitization in MeV proprioceptive neurons enhances somatic secretion. This, in turn, disinhibits descending pain control from neighboring noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons via local GABAergic circuits, thereby promoting inflammatory muscle pain.
