..., the feedback schemes proposed in this work can stabilize a supercavitating vehicle with a large region of attraction around the trim condition instead of just stabilization around the limit cycle motion. In particular, the achieved stability is robust to modeling errors in the planing force. This robustness...

...Soo Jeon; Masayoshi Tomizuka When a mechanical system with Coulomb friction is under feedback control, the closed-loop system may asymptotically converge to a point in the equilibrium set or generate nonlinear oscillations such as limit cycles depending on the control algorithm. Thus...

... captured in a bifurcation diagram that features the changes of equilibrium points into limit cycling (vibrations). A comparison of numerical and experimental bifurcation diagrams illustrates the predictive quality of the suggested model. Moreover, such a bifurcation diagram provides improved insight...
