Optimal Control of Mechanical Systems [PDF]

open access: yesDifferential Equations and Nonlinear Mechanics, 2007
In the present work, we consider a class of nonlinear optimal control problems, which can be called “optimal control problems in mechanics.” We deal with control systems whose dynamics can be described by a system of Euler-Lagrange or Hamilton equations.

Local-To-Global Hypotheses for Robust Robot Localization

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Many robust state-of-the-art localization methods rely on pose-space sample sets that are evaluated against individual sensor measurements. While these methods can work effectively, they often provide limited mechanisms to control the amount of ...

Assessment of Impact Energy Harvesting in Composite Beams with Piezoelectric Transducers

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) is studied in the case of a low-velocity impact of a rigid mass on a composite beam. A methodology is outlined, encompassing modelling of the open-circuit impact response in a finite element (FE) package, formulation

Development and Research of New Hybrid Composites in Order to Increase Reliability and Durability of Structural Elements

open access: yesMetals, 2023
Hybrid composite materials can successfully solve the problems of reliability, durability, and extended functionality of products, components, and details, which operate under conditions of multifactorial influences (temperature, force, and deformation).

Evaluation of Linearization Methods for Control of the Pendubot

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The aim of this paper is to test the usefulness of a new approach based on partial feedback linearization to control the Pendubot. The control problem stated in the article is to stabilize the Pendubot in the upright position.

Configuration Controllability of Simple Mechanical Control Systems [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1997
The paper presents a thorough discussion of the configuration controllability of mechanical systems with the common Lagrangian \(L= {1\over 2}T- V\). The new controllability test is expressed in terms of the symmetric product \(\nabla_XY+ \nabla_YX\) of two vector fields.

Maximum specific cycle net-work based performance analyses and optimizations of thermodynamic gas power cycles

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
A gas power engine is expected to output work or power through cycle, and the work is expected as much as possible in terms of viewpoints of a unit fuel, a unit volume of an engine, or a unit displaced volume of an engine. Evaluation of gas power engines
