Presenting research papers contributed by experts in dynamics and control, Advances in Dynamics and Control explores new ideas, reviews the latest results, and discusses emerging directions in the rapidly growing field of aviation and aerospace. The authors discuss a wide range of topics in rotorcraft dynamics, stabilization of unstable aircraft, spacecraft, satellite dynamics and control, missile auto-pilot and guidance design, hybrid systems dynamics and control, and structural and acoustic modeling. The book is a valuable reference for graduate students and scientific workers in...

The study of nonlinear phenomena in aviation and aerospace includes developments in computer technology and the use of nonlinear mathematical models. Nonlinearities are a feature of aircraft dynamics and flight control systems and need to respond to achieve stability and performance. This multiauthor volume comprises selected papers from the conference Nonlinear Problems in Aviation and Aerospace at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and additional invited papers from many distinguished scientists. Coverage includes orbit determination of a tethered satellite system using laser and radar...
