Adaptive Control of Mechanical Systems

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Development of the theory of self-adaptive systems for engineering applications; special emphasis on flexible mechanical structures; advanced topics in model following control; disturbance accommodating control; flexible structure descriptions; Lyapunov stability theory in continuous and discrete time, LaSalle invariance principle; strictly passive systems; direct adaptive control with full states or outputs only; applications to autonomy and evolving systems. Prerequisites: MEEN 651 and MEEN 652 , or equivalent.
