Servo controllers commonly use traditional cascaded configurations in which a velocity loop is nested within a position loop. This configuration originated when current and velocity controllers were ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...

Loparo's research interests include stability and control of nonlinear and stochastic systems with applications to large-scale electricity systems including generation and transmission and ...

The most recent class of control techniques to be used are collectively referred to as adaptive control. Although the basic algorithms have been known for decades, they have not been applied in many ...
