Electric Aircraft Dynamics: A Systems Engineering Approach surveys
engineering sciences that underpin the dynamics, control,
monitoring, and design of electric propulsion systems for aircraft.
It is structured to appeal to readers with a science and
engineering background and is modular in format. The closely linked
chapters present descriptive material and relevant mathematical
modeling techniques. Taken as a whole, this ground-breaking text
equips professional and student readers with a solid foundation for
advanced work in this emerging field. Key Features: Provides the
first systems-based overview of this emerging aerospace technology
Surveys low-weight battery technologies and their use in electric
aircraft propulsion Explores the design and use of plasma actuation
for boundary layer and flow control Considers the integrated design
of electric motor-driven propellers Includes PowerPoint slides for
instructors using the text for classes Dr. Ranjan Vepa earned his
PhD in applied mechanics from Stanford University, California. He
currently serves as a lecturer in the School of Engineering and
Material Science, Queen Mary University of London, where he has
also been the programme director of the Avionics Programme since
2001. Dr. Vepa is a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society,
London; the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE), New York; a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy; a
member of the Royal Institute of Navigation, London; and a
chartered engineer.

This book addresses the core issues involved in the dynamic
modeling, simulation and control of a selection of energy systems
such as gas turbines, wind turbines, fuel cells and batteries. The
principles of modeling and control could be applied to other
non-convention methods of energy generation such as solar energy
and wave energy. A central feature of Dynamic Modeling, Simulation
and Control of Energy Generation is that it brings together diverse
topics in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer,
electro-chemistry, electrical networks and electrical machines and
focuses on their applications in the field of energy generation,
its control and regulation. This book will help the reader
understand the methods of modelling energy systems for controller
design application as well as gain a basic understanding of the
processes involved in the design of control systems and regulators.
It will also be a useful guide to simulation of the dynamics of
energy systems and for implementing monitoring systems based on the
estimation of internal system variables from measurements of
observable system variables. Dynamic Modeling, Simulation and
Control of Energy Generation will serve as a useful aid to
designers of hybrid power generating systems involving advanced
technology systems such as floating or offshore wind turbines and
fuel cells. The book introduces case studies of the practical
control laws for a variety of energy generation systems based on
nonlinear dynamic models without relying on linearization. Also the
book introduces the reader to the use nonlinear model based
estimation techniques and their application to energy systems.

Nonlinear Control of Robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: An
Integrated Approach presents control and regulation methods that
rely upon feedback linearization techniques. Both robot
manipulators and UAVs employ operating regimes with large
magnitudes of state and control variables, making such an approach
vital for their control systems design. Numerous application
examples are included to facilitate the art of nonlinear control
system design, for both robotic systems and UAVs, in a single
unified framework. MATLAB (R) and Simulink (R) are integrated to
demonstrate the importance of computational methods and systems
simulation in this process.
This book is written as an initial course in robotics. It is ideal
for study of unmanned aerial or underwater vehicles, a topic on
which few books exist. It presents the fundamentals of robotics,
from an aerospace perspective, by considering only the field of
robot mechanisms. For an aerospace engineer, three dimensional and
parallel mechanisms - flight simulation, unmanned aerial vehicles,
and space robotics - take on an added significance. Biomimetic
robot mechanisms are fundamental to manipulators, walking, mobile,
and flying robots. As a distinguishing feature, this book gives a
unified and integrated treatment of biomimetic robot mechanisms. It
is ideal preparation for the next robotics module: practical robot
control design. While the book focuses on principles, computational
procedures are also given due importance. Students are encouraged
to use computational tools to solve the examples in the exercises.
The author has also included some additional topics beyond his
course coverage for the enthusiastic reader to explore.
