    • Concurrent simulation and constraint stabilization for flexible multibody systems 
      Menon, Ramesh Gopal (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
      This dissertation presents a family of computationally efficient methods for the simulation of large, flexible multibody systems. Non-recursive order N formulations for the transient dynamic analysis of multibody systems ...
    • Dynamics and control of tethered satellite systems 
      Kim, Euisok (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)
      The purpose of this research is to investigate the dynamics of a tethered satellite system in which the flexibility of the tether is considered and to design control laws for the deployment and retrieval of the tethered ...
    • On a robust controller design using a minimax optimization approach 
      Hsu, Shih-Tein (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)
      An extension of the Linear Quadratic Regulator, and Linear Quadratic Gaussian methodology is proposed to design a robust controller from the viewpoint of eigenvalue sensitivity. The resulting system is optimal under the ...
    • A video-based experimental investigation of wing rock 
      Morris, Steven Lynn (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)
      The primary objective of this research was to develop a definitive theory on the cause of wing rock. The study was based on dynamic measurements in both a water tunnel and a wind tunnel on a sharp-edged delta wing with an ...
