LPV Control and Virtual-Sensor-Based Fault Tolerant Strategies for a Three-Axis Gimbal System

open access: yesSensors, 2022
This paper deals with the LPV control of a three-axis gimbal including fault-tolerant capabilities. First, the derivation of an analytical model for the considered system based on the robotics Serial-Link (SL) theory is derived.

Estimating Disturbance Torque Effects on the Stability and Control Performance of Two-Axis Gimbal Systems

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений России: Радиоэлектроника, 2022
Introduction. Two-axis gimbal systems are applied for stabilizing and controlling the line of sight (LOS) of an optical or imaging system mounted on a moving vehicle.

Fundamental study on a thin-film ae sensor for measurement of behavior of a multi-pad contact slider [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
To study the fundamental dynamic characteristics of a multi-pad slider for contact recording, we developed a thin-film piezoelectric acoustic emission array sensor on an Si-suspension with an array pattern similar to that of contact pads.

A novel single-gimbal control moment gyroscope driven by an ultrasonic motor

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
This article presents a structure-compacted single-gimbal control moment gyroscope, which is directly driven by an ultrasonic motor. The momentum wheel and the ultrasonic motor are designed and optimized based on software simulation.

Integrated Gimbal Dynamics model for Precise Gimbal Rate Control in Single Gimbal-CMG to achieve High Accuracy Pointing

open access: yesIFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
Abstract Modern Earth observation spacecrafts require high agility to maneuver with larger torque which eventually needs CMGs, as Reaction Wheels cannot meet the demand of such large torques. In order to obtain high-accuracy pointing control with CMG, extremely precise gimbal control is necessary.

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Aircraft body-axis rotation measurement system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
A two gyro four gimbal attitude sensing system having gimbal lock avoidance is provided with continuous azimuth information, rather than roll information, relative to the magnetic cardinal headings while in near vertical attitudes to allow recovery from ...

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

A Non-Pyrotechnic Heavy-Load Hold Down Release Mechanism for Space Gimbals

open access: yesAerospace
Continuously rotating gimbals for scanning purposes are widely used in space applications. For high-precision gimbals, it is essential to lock the gimbal before launch and unlock it on orbit.
