Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Workshop on Control Mechanics has been held at the University of South ern California annually since 1988 under the leadership of late Professor Janislaw M. Skowronski. The primary goal of Professor Skowronski in organizing this series of work shops was to promote the use of advanced mechanics method in control theory with a special emphasis on the control of nonlinear mechanical systems subject to uncertainty. This goal has been achieved through a consistent participation of a large number of researchers in the field of control and mechanics and an intensive exchange of their ideas. Professor Skowronski passed away unexpectedly on March 21, 1992, after the conclusion of the Fifth Workshop. The great success of the Fifth Workshop as well as the entire Control Mechanics Workshops over the years is almost exclusively due to his dedication, enthusiasm, and organizational capabilities. His untimely demise is a great loss to us and to the mechanics and control community. The proceedings of the Fifth Workshop presented in this volume are dedicated to Professor Angelo Miele, one of the pioneers and ,a leading contributor in many fields of control theory and its applications. His contribution spans a wide range of topics such as optimization theory, flight mechanics, astrodynamics, ocean engineering, and numerical methods. The presentations in the workshop reflected many of the areas in which Professor Miele has been active. The papers included in this volume are divided into three major groups of topics.

Download or read book Advanced Problems and Methods for Space Flight Optimization written by B. Fraeijs De Veubeke and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Problems and Methods for Space Flight Optimization presents the optimization theory and its application to space flight. This book covers a wide range of topics, including optimal guidance, general mathematical methods of optimization, optimal transfer trajectories, and optimization of design parameters. Organized into 15 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the approximate analytic solution developed for minimum fuel guidance from an arbitrary point on a hyperbolic orbit into a definite circular orbit. This text then determines the maximum range trajectory for a glider entering the Earth's atmosphere at a supercircular velocity. Other chapters consider the economical transfers between Keplerian orbits, which has made considerable progress in the time-free case. This book discusses as well the Pontryagin Maximum Principle used to determine the optimal transfers between arbitrary coaxial ellipses. The final chapter deals with the synthesis of minimum-fuel controls for a class of aerospace control problems. This book is a valuable resource for aerospace engineers.

Download or read book MINIMUM FUEL THRUST LIMITED TRANSFER TRAJECTORIES BETWEEN COPLANAR ELLIPTIC ORBITS written by Edward Adolph Kern and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method is developed for the efficient computation of minimum-fuel transfer trajectories between coplanar elliptic orbits with a thrust-limited variable-mass rocket moving in a central gravitation force field. Each orbit is defined through the eccentricity, semi-latus rectum, and argument of pericenter. Transfer time is left open. The minimum-fuel trajectory is assumed to consist of two thrusting phases separated by a coasting phase. Computation of the minimum-fuel transfer trajectory is accomplished by a direct integration of the rocket equations of motion and the associated adjoint equations which are developed from variational calculus techniques. This direct approach is made possible by a unique transformation of the adjoint equations into a set of equations which provide a much better understanding of the general behavior of minimum-fuel transfer trajectories. Reasonable estimates of the thrusting interval durations, initial thrust angle, and initial true anomaly are derived from the corresponding minimum-fuel, two-impulse transfer trajectory. The initial value of a newly discovered variable is used in conjunction with the initial thrust angle to obtain the thrusting interval durations specified by the two-impulse transfer. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Era In Space Transportation contains selected papers presented at the 27th International Astronautical Congress, held in Anaheim, California in October 1976. The book presents a survey of the trends and developments in astronomical research in the world. The proceedings cover a variety of points of view on the aspects of space transportation. It is divided into four parts. Part I is devoted to theme sessions, lectures, and a comprehensive look into the American and European programs of space transportation. The second part addresses certain areas in the fields of Engineering and Life Sciences such as Astrodynamics, Bioastronautics, Fluid Dynamics, Materials and Structures, Propulsion, Fluid Dynamics of Planetary Atmospheres, and Laser Uses in Propulsion. Part III deals with Space Technology and Space Systems. The final part focuses on relevant applications like telecommunications, remote sensing of earth resources, and material processing in space. Engineers, astronomers, astrophysicists, biologists, industrialists, and researchers in the field of space technology will find this book a good source of information.
