Transient Thermal Systems: Dynamics and Control

Dynamics and Motion Control of Wheeled Robotic Systems

Mobile robotic systems, which include a mobile platform with one or more manipulators, mounted at specific locations on the mobile base, are of great interest in a number of applications. In this paper, after thorough kinematic studies on the platform and manipulator motions, a systematic methodology will be presented to obtain the dynamic equations for such systems without violating the base n...

Inverse Design and Control of Thermal Systems

Transient Management in Reconfigurable Control Systems

This report investigates the transient phenomena due to run-time reconfigurations in controlled systems. It is shown that in the case of dynamic systems these reconfiguration transients might be reduced to a considerable extent using dedicated design-time and/or run-time methods. The methodology behind applies the so-called model-integrated approach [SK97], which tries to utilize the available ...

Reactivity and transient dynamics of discrete-time ecological systems

Most studies of ecological models focus exclusively on the asymptotic stability properties of equilibria. However, short-term transient effects can be important, and can in some cases dominate the dynamics seen in experimental or field studies. The reactivity of a stable equilibrium point measures the potential for short-term amplification of perturbations. The reactivity of a fixed point in a ...
