Control architecture sizing is a main challenge of blended-wing–body design. This aircraft
configuration typically features redundant elevons located at the trailing edge of the wing …

Motivated by the necessity of suitable state constraint mechanisms within linear time-
invariant (LTI) energy-maximising control of wave energy converters (WECs), we present, in …

This paper presents a new approach to enforce state, output, and control constraints in
closed-loop nonlinear systems. The approach is based on the Reference Governor (RG) …

In this paper, a nonlinear low-pass filter is presented, which produces significantly less
phase lag than linear and some nonlinear filters. The proposed filter employs a saturation …

The coupling of the longitudinal and lateral stability modes of an aeroplane is considered in
two cases:(i) weak coupling, when the changes in the frequency and damping of the …

Over-actuated systems are characterized by a larger number of actuators compared with the
degrees of freedom to be controlled. In such systems, it is often desirable to allocate control …

The mitigation of fuel propellant sloshing onboard satellites or during space launches is of
particular interest. Fuel sloshing can indeed significantly affect spacecraft motion by …

In this paper, a new technique is proposed for trajectory tracking of a flexible spacecraft
subject to angular velocity constraints. The problem is addressed using an output to input …

In modern control design problems, both frequency-and time-domain requirements are
usually considered such that the resulting control law satisfies the specifications. Novel non …
