Control of Flight
Eugene Lavretsky
The main focus of this talk is to present mathematical fundamentals, state-of-the-art, technical challenges and open problems in control of flight for atmospheric vehicles, such as…
Output Feedback Control of Linear Time-Invariant Systems with Operational Constraints
Marcel Menner, Heather Hussain, Eugene Lavretsky
This paper introduces a systematic method for designing robust linear controllers using output feedback in the presence of operational constraints. The design uses Nagumo's Theorem…
State Feedback Controllers with Operational Constraints
Eugene Lavretsky
In this paper, a state feedback control design with min/max operational limiting constraints is developed for multi-input-multi-output linear time invariant systems. Specifically,…
Modeling Unsteady Aircraft Aerodynamics Using Lorenz Attractor: A Reduced-Order Approach for Wing Rock
Marcel Menner, Eugene Lavretsky
This paper presents a novel modeling approach for unsteady aircraft airflow, leveraging the Lorenz attractor framework. The proposed model is based on the force distribution exerte…
Robust Linear Design for Flight Control Systems with Operational Constraints
Marcel Menner, Eugene Lavretsky
This paper presents a systematic approach for designing robust linear proportional-integral (PI) servo-controllers that effectively manage control input and output constraints in f…
Compatibility of Multiple Control Barrier Functions for Constrained Nonlinear Systems
Max H. Cohen, Eugene Lavretsky, Aaron D. Ames
Control barrier functions (CBFs) are a powerful tool for the constrained control of nonlinear systems; however, the majority of results in the literature focus on systems subject t…
