Controller and Observer Designs for Partial Differential-Algebraic Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2024-06-19)Partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAEs) arise in numerous situations, including the coupling between differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). They also emerge from the ... -
Gain-Scheduled Control of a Quadcopter UAV
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-28)In this thesis we develop a gain-scheduled control law for the quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Techniques from linear control theory are introduced and used to construct adaptive proportional and proportional-integral ... -
Optimal Locations of Sensors and Actuators for Control of a Pedestrian Bridge
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-22)Lightweight structures have been increasing in popularity in structural designs. However, they are more prone to disturbances. Therefore, a controller device can be placed on the structure to control the excessive vibrations. ...
