Over the last few decades, control engineers have focused on developing innovative control
theories and algorithms to regulate systems. These control efforts are usually at the last …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is based on layer-by-layer addition of materials. It gives design
flexibility and potential to decrease costs and manufacturing lead time. Because the AM …

Effective electrification of automotive vehicles requires designing the powertrain's
configuration along with sizing its components for a particular vehicle type. Employing …

This paper presents a study wherein we experimentally characterize the dynamics and
control system of a lab-scale ocean kite, and then refine, validate, and extrapolate this model …

This paper presents the experimental validation and dynamic similarity analysis for a lab-
scale version of an airborne wind energy (AWE) system executing closed-loop motion …

This paper aims to demonstrate the application of control co-design methodology for the
rotor blades of a floating offshore wind turbine. A 10 MW reference wind turbine model is …

This paper presents a unique nested optimization framework for the co-design of a physical
system (plant) and controller, which leverages optimal Design of Experiments (DoE) …

This paper presents a novel data-driven nested optimization framework that aims to solve
the problem of coupling between plant and controller optimization. This optimization strategy …

This research presents an iterative framework for optimizing the plant and controller for
complex systems by fusing expensive but valuable experiments with cheap yet less accurate …

Guided projectiles allow one to augment the effect of artillery on the battlefield, but their lack
of control authority limits the flexibility of such means of fire support. In this article, a new …
