This book is the result of over ten (10) years of research and
development in flexible robots and structures at Sandia National
Laboratories. The authors de cided to collect this wealth of
knowledge into a set of viewgraphs in order to teach a graduate
class in Flexible Robot Dynamics and Controls within the Mechanical
En gineering Department at the University of New Mexico (UNM).
These viewgraphs, encouragement from several students, and many
late nights have produced a book that should provide an upper-level
undergraduate and graduate textbook and a reference for experienced
professionals. The content of this book spans several disciplines
including structural dynam ics, system identification,
optimization, and linear, digital, and nonlinear control theory
which are developed from several points of view including
electrical, me chanical, and aerospace engineering as well as
engineering mechanics. As a result, the authors believe that this
book demonstrates the value of solid applied theory when developing
hardware solutions to real world problems. The reader will find
many real world applications in this book and will be shown the
applicability of these techniques beyond flexible structures which,
in turn, shows the value of mul tidisciplinary education and
teaming.

Like millions of his peers, Clint leaves farm, family, budding
career, and flies into World War II, a new pilot in a new arm of
the Army Air Corps, known as TROOP CARRIER COMMAND. Over a nineteen
month span, Clint's letters to his oldest brother chronicle
elements of training, deployment, combat, hi-Jinks and outlandish
experiences, all while doing his part to bring down the Nazi war
machine. Limited by censorship and operational tempo, LETTERS TO
DON follows Clint's path, annotated by the larger saga of events
and places swirling around the tale, as he shared it, with his big
brother. Hidden in his words are anecdotes of deployed life, the
stuff of war, a romance, and the experiences that forged soldiers
like him, and those who soldiered on the home front, into the
Greatest Generation.
