This paper presents an overview of singular perturbations and time scales (SPaTS) in
control theory and applications during the period 2002-2012. The previous …

A flexible link manipulator (FLM) has advantages of greater payload-to-manipulator-weight
ratio, safer operation, and lower energy consumption compared with the rigid manipulator …

In this study, we consider the boundary control problem of a flexible manipulator in the
presence of input saturation and input disturbances. The dynamics of the flexible system are …

In this study, we consider the boundary control problem of a flexible manipulator in the
presence of system parametric uncertainty and external disturbances. The dynamic behavior …

Many well-established singular perturbation theories for singularly perturbed systems
require the full knowledge of system model parameters. In order to obtain an accurate and …

In this paper, the dynamic model and vibration analysis of a flexible manipulator composed
of N elastic links and robot actuators for which structural vibration is considered are …

In this study, we consider a boundary control problem of a flexible aerial refueling hose in
the presence of input disturbance. To provide an accurate and concise representation of the …

In this study, we consider a boundary control problem of a flexible aerial refuelling hose in
the presence of input saturation. To provide an accurate and concise representation of the …

In this article, the closed-form dynamic equations of planar flexible link manipulators (FLMs),
with revolute joints and constant cross sections, are derived combining Lagrange's …

From Prandtl's work at the beginning of last century, singular perturbation techniques (SPTs)
have become the basic tool of fluid dynamics. Further the approach was extended to other …
