(2015-01-21)This dissertation presents a method which attempts to improve the stability properties of periodic orbits in hybrid dynamical systems by shaping the energy. By taking advantage of conservation of energy and the existence ...
-
(2019-07-10)Being able to control nonlinear oscillators, which are ubiquitous, has significant engineering implications in process development and product sustainability design. The fundamental characteristics of a vibro-impact ...
