Adaptive control of elastic aircraft

Hinson, Brian Thomas (Wichita State University, 2010-12)

This thesis documents the development of an adaptive controller designed to control the elastic aircraft dynamics of a generic general aviation aircraft. The elastic aircraft equations of motion are derived using ...
Adaptive critic flight control

Steck, James E.; Chandramohan, Rajeev (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2006-04-28)
Adaptive critic flight control for a general aviation aircraft: Simulations for the beech bonanza fly-by-wire testbed

Chandramohan, Rajeev (Wichita State University, 2007-07)

An adaptive and reconfigurable flight control system is developed for a general aviation aircraft. The flight control system consisting of two neural networks is developed using a two phase procedure called the pre-training ...
Adaptive rate control algorithm to improve the performance of H.264 video codec in varying network conditions

Shingvi, Swapnil (2006-12)

This thesis involves proposing an efficient algorithm, which takes into consideration the NALU (Network abstraction Layer Unit) and tries to improve the H.264 codec performance over a network. Along with the bandwidth ...
Additional reflection plane tests of control devices on an NACA 23024 airfoil

Snyder, Melvin H.; Wentz, W.H.; Cao, Hoa V. (Wichita State University. Center for Energy Studies, 1985-02)

Reflection plane tests of the NACA 23024 airfoil were conducted in the 7 x 10 ft wind tunnel to determine the effects of various aileron hingeline positions and auxiliary leading-edge and tip cap on effectiveness of ...
Adhesive-bonded composite joint analysis with delaminated surface ply using strain-energy release rate
