Optimal Control Applications and Methods, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 709-725, March/April 2025.The paper proposes a method to reduce MPC computation by shortening the prediction horizon using an approximate value function. A goal‐oriented sampling strategy is introduced that incorporates function values and gradients to train the value function, enabling efficient online optimization.

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 1, 15 January 2025.Abstract This article showcases the development of a dynamic Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation to account for inelastic material models within a finite element framework. Such a formulation is commonly utilized in research domains like fluid mechanics, fluid‐structure interaction, quasi static remeshing techniques, and quasi static load ...

Robust control for gantry cranes
, 1999 In this thesis a class of robust non-linear controllers for a gantry crane system are discussed. The gantry crane has three degrees of freedom, all of which are interrelated. These are the horizontal traverse of the cart, the vertical motion of the goods (i.e. rope length) and the swing angle made by the goods during the movement of the cart.
