Book Control of Marine Vehicles

Download or read book Control of Marine Vehicles written by Karl Dietrich von Ellenrieder and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the control of marine vehicles, from fundamental to advanced concepts, including robust control techniques for handling model uncertainty, environmental disturbances, and actuator limitations. Starting with an introductory chapter that extensively reviews automatic control and dynamic modeling techniques for ocean vehicles, the first part of the book presents in-depth information on the analysis and control of linear time invariant systems. The concepts discussed are developed progressively, providing a basis for understanding more complex techniques and stimulating readers’ intuition. In addition, selected examples illustrating the main concepts, the corresponding MATLAB® code, and problems are included in each chapter. In turn, the second part of the book offers comprehensive coverage on the stability and control of nonlinear systems. Following the same intuitive approach, it guides readers from the fundamentals to more advanced techniques, which culminate in integrator backstepping, adaptive and sliding mode control. Leveraging the author’s considerable teaching and research experience, the book offers a good balance of theory and stimulating questions. Not only does it provide a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students; it will also benefit practitioners who want to review the foundational concepts underpinning some of the latest advanced marine vehicle control techniques, for use in their own applications.

Book The Dynamics of Marine Craft

Download or read book The Dynamics of Marine Craft written by Edward M. Lewandowski and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a theoretical treatment, as well as a summary of practical methods of computation, of the forces and moments that act on marine craft. Its aim is to provide the tools necessary for the prediction or simulation of craft motions in calm water and in waves. In addition to developing the required equations, the author gives relations that permit at least approximate evaluation of the coefficients so that useful results can be obtained. The approach begins with the equations of motion for rigid bodies, relative to fixed- and moving-coordinate systems; then, the hydrodynamic forces are examined, starting with hydrostatics and progressing to the forces on a moving vehicle in calm water and (after a review of water-wave theory) in waves. Several detailed examples are presented, including calculations of hydrostatics, horizontal- and vertical-plane directional stability, and wave-induced motions. Also included are unique discussions on various effects, such as fin-hull interactions, numerical stability of integrators, heavy torpedoes, and the dynamics of high-speed craft. The book is intended to be an introductory-level graduate text and a reference for the practicing professional.

Book Control of Ships and Underwater Vehicles

Download or read book Control of Ships and Underwater Vehicles written by Khac Duc Do and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-09 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most ocean vessels are underactuated but control of their motion in the real ocean environment is essential. Starting with a review of the background on ocean-vessel dynamics and nonlinear control theory, the authors’ systematic approach is based on various nontrivial coordinate transformations coupled with advanced nonlinear control design methods. This strategy is then used for the development and analysis of a number of ocean-vessel control systems with the aim of achieving advanced motion control tasks including stabilization, trajectory-tracking, path-tracking and path-following. Control of Ships and Underwater Vehicles offers the reader: - new results in the nonlinear control of underactuated ocean vessels; - efficient designs for the implementation of controllers on underactuated ocean vessels; - numerical simulations and real-time implementations of the control systems designed on a scale-model ship for each controller developed to illustrate their effectiveness and afford practical guidance.

It provides valuable insights for an audience of researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in autonomous marine vessels, robotics, and electrical and automobile engineering.

Book Dynamics of Marine Vehicles with Aerodynamic Surfaces

Download or read book Dynamics of Marine Vehicles with Aerodynamic Surfaces written by Maurizio Collu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An assessment of the relative speeds and payload capacities of airborne andwaterborne vehicles highlights a gap which can be usefully filled by a new vehicle concept, utilizing both hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces. A high speedmarine vehicle equipped with aerodynamic surfaces (called an AAMV, 'Aerodynamically Alleviated Marine Vehicle') is one such concept. The development ofthis type of vehicle requires a mathematical framework to characterize its dynamics taking account of both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces. This thesispresents the development of unified and consistent equations of equilibrium andequations of motion to predict the dynamic performance of such AAMV configurations. An overview of the models of dynamics developed for Wing In Ground effect 'WIGe' vehicles and high speed marine vehicles (planing craft) is given first. Starting from these models, a generic AAMV configuration is proposed and akinematics framework is developed. Then, taking into account the aerodynamic, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces acting on the AAMV, equations of equilibrium are derived and solved. This is followed by deriving and solving the fullequations of motion, using a small perturbation assumption. A static stabilitycriterion, specific for the AAMV configuration, has been developed. This mathematical framework and its results are implemented in MATLAB and validatedagainst theoretical and experimental data. The resultant capability for analysingnovel AAMV configurations is presented through two parametric analysis. Theanalysis demonstrate that these models offer a powerful AAMV design tool.
