Entry Trajectory Optimization for Mars Science Laboratory Class Missions Using Indirect Unified Trigonometrization Method
Kshitij Mall, Ehsan Taheri
Application of traditional indirect optimization methods to optimal control problems (OCPs) with control and state path constraints is not a straightforward task. However, recent a…
A Novel Approach for Optimal Trajectory Design with Multiple Operation Modes of Propulsion System, Part 2
Ehsan Taheri, John L. Junkins, Ilya Kolmanovsky +1
Equipping a spacecraft with multiple solar-powered electric engines (of the same or different types) compounds the task of optimal trajectory design due to presence of both real-va…
A Novel Approach for Optimal Trajectory Design with Multiple Operation Modes of Propulsion System, Part 1
Ehsan Taheri, John L. Junkins, Ilya Kolmanovsky +1
Efficient performance of a number of engineering systems is achieved through different modes of operation - yielding systems described as "hybrid", containing both real-valued and…
Optimal Control of Wave Energy Converters Using Epsilon-Trig Regularization Method
Kshitij Mall, Ehsan Taheri
The wave energy converter (WEC) devices provide access to a renewable energy source. Developing control strategies to harvest maximum wave energy requires solving a constrained opt…
How Many Impulses Redux
Ehsan Taheri, John L. Junkins
A central problem in orbit transfer optimization is to determine the number, time, direction and magnitude of velocity impulses that minimize the total impulse. This problem was po…
