An approach and landing (A&L) guidance scheme for an unpowered reusable launch vehicle (RLV) with diminished maneuverability in the vertical plane, is presented. The guidance method computes a new reference trajectory such that load factor is minimized during the A&L phase. Trajectory planning is done by performing a series of 1-D searches by iterating on a single guidance parameter and numerically propagating multiple paths to touchdown conditions. The guidance algorithm determines the minimum constant equilibrium-glide load factor such that the flight-path angle is continually increased during the A&L phase. The corresponding A&L trajectory of the calculated minimum load factor is used as the reference path for a closed-loop guidance scheme. The guidance method is a feasible technique for onboard generation of a new reference A&L trajectory.

We propose using SQP (sequential quadratic programming) to directly recover 3D quadratic surface parameters from multiple views. A surface equation is used as a constraint. In addition to the sum of squared reprojection errors defined in the traditional bundle adjustment, a Lagrangian term is added to force recovered points to satisfy the constraint. The minimization is realized by SQP. Our algorithm has three advantages. First, given corresponding features in multiple views, the SQP implementation can directly recover the quadratic surface parameters optimally instead of a collection of isolated 3D points coordinates. Second, the specified constraints are strictly satisfied and the camera parameters and 3D coordinates of points can be determined more accurately than that by unconstrained methods. Third, the recovered quadratic surface model can be represented by a much smaller number of parameters instead of point clouds and triangular patches. Experiments with both synthetic and real images show the power of this approach.

A Stackelberg game-based cooperative control strategy is proposed for enhancing the lateral stability of a four-wheel independently driving electric vehicle (FWID-EV). An upperlower double-layer hierarchical control structure is adopted for the design of a stability control strategy. The leaderfollower-based Stackelberg game theory (SGT) is introduced to model the interaction between two unequal active chassis control subsystems in the upper layer. In this model, the direct yaw-moment control (DYC) and the active four-wheel steering (AFWS) are treated as the leader and the follower, respectively, based on their natural characteristics. Then, in order to guarantee the efficiency and convergence of the proposed control strategy, a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is employed to solve the task allocation problem among the distributed actuators in the lower layer. Also, a double-mode adaptive weight (DMAW)- adjusting mechanism is designed, considering the negative effect of DYC. The results of cosimulation with CarSim and Matlab/Simulink demonstrate that the proposed control strategy can effectively improve the lateral stability by properly coordinating the actions of AFWS and DYC.

Researchers involved initial and final coasting arcs and obtained a contour plot of the cost versus separation angle and transfer time to find the global optimal two-impulse solution in a study. They proposed an analytical method to solve the out-of-plane rendezvous problem between two close elliptic orbits. The study described how to formulate and solve the equality-constrained optimization problem when only the right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN) difference between the chaser and target is considered using a J2-perturbed analytical dynamics model. The equality-constrained optimization problem is first extended to include the differences of orbital semi-major axis, inclination, and RAAN together. The proposed estimation method was verified by comparing with Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL’s) champion solution for a debris removal mission and the recently reported solutions for the 2003/2005 Mars sample return (MSR) mission.

The use of displacements as design variables for truss structure optimization is considered as an alternative to the conventional finite-element-analysis-based design approach. A two-level nested optimization has been developed;in an inner level, cross-sectional areas of truss members are designed for a given displacement field, and, at an outer level, optimal displacements corresponding to the minimum weight designs are searched through the use of sequential quadratic programming. The computational efficiency of the method is, demonstrated through three examples, and the evolutions of the cross-sectional areas and optimal weight as a function of the displacements are studied. Static, dynamic, and topology problems are considered. It is shown that the method is highly efficient compared to the conventional design approaches. It is also demonstrated that the weight is always continuous throughout the design history, although areas might exhibit large discontinuities.

A guidance scheme is proposed for orbital motion under continuous outward radial acceleration that is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance from the sun. Such an acceleration regime would be realized under the minimagnetospheric plasma propulsion. The maximum attainable radial distance of the outbound trajectory is investigated, and a guidance scheme for achieving this target maximum distance is established under radial acceleration disturbances. The scheme not only provides a control law for continuous radial acceleration but also yields the amount and timing of impulsive maneuvers required to satisfy the guidance requirement at the terminal point.

The emerging magnetic soft continuum robots (MSCRs) - a type of slender and soft rods with embedded hardmagnetic particles - hold great promise in endovascular intervention via remote magnetic actuation. Although numerous advantages of using permanent magnets have been demonstrated for manipulating MSCRs (e.g., simple systems with high actuation force, large operating workspace), the magneto-mechanical behavior of MSCRs in nonuniform magnetic fields, particularly those generated by permanent magnets, remains largely unexplored. In this work, a systematic study of MSCRs in the nonuniform field is presented, which includes theoretical modeling using hard-magnetic elastica theory, numerical analyses by energy minimization method, finite element simulations using ABAQUS user element (UEL), and experimental validation. Without solving governing differential equations, the large deflection of MSCRs is efficiently obtained via the minimization of the total potential energy using sequential quadratic programming (SQP). This efficient modeling method offers insights into the control of MSCRs using nonuniform magnetic fields. Two practical strategies are provided for precisely controlling MSCRs by manipulating a cubic magnet through the adjustment of the actuation distance, rotation angle, and spin angle, laying the foundation for applications of magnetically-assisted endovascular intervention.

A secondary reconstruction technique based on multi-section reconstruction is proposed to simultaneously reconstruct the space-dependent absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and thermal conductivity fields without any priori information in the participating medium. In the forward model, the finite volume method (FVM) is used to solve the coupled radiative-conductive problem. The radiative and temperature signals on one side of the medium boundary induced by laser irradiation heating are served as input measurements for the inverse analysis. In the inverse model, the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is employed to solve the optimization problems. By this technique, more measurement signals can be obtained, which is necessary for exactly reconstructing the space-dependent optical and thermophysical parameters fields. All the retrieval results show that the proposed secondary reconstruction technique based on multi-section reconstruction can be adopted to reconstruct the complex space-dependent absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and thermal conductivity fields accurately and efficiently. This proposed technique will play an important role in practical application, such as non-destructive testing of materials, biology imaging in clinical medicine and optimization and design of composites.

How to establish a simple and efficient nonlinear optimization problem form-finding model in noise environments is the main concern of this paper, thereby, a sequential quadratic programming form-finding (SQP) approach via a noise-tolerant zeroing neural network (NTZNN) is presented to solve the proposed problem. First, the rank of force density matrix is selected as optimization objective due to its crucial physical property. In addition, linear relations between the force density vectors and force density matrix are selected as the constraint conditions, which can ensure the tensegrity mechanism in a stable status. Furthermore, the simulations are shown that the presented SQP-NTZNN algorithm has superiority with anti-noise performance and computation efficiency, which by comparing the computational rate in the same noise environment with the novel form-finding algorithm. Eventually, the form-finding simulations under different initial conditions are formed to verify the importance of the constrained conditions, it can prove the high efficiency of the proposed nonlinear constrained optimization model which is transformed from the form-finding problem.

Stochastic nonlinear model predictive control (SNMPC) allows to directly take model uncertainty into account, e.g., by including probabilistic chance constraints. This paper proposes linear-regression Kalman filtering to perform high-accuracy propagation of mean and covariance information for the nonlinear system dynamics in a tractable approximation of the stochastic optimal control problem. In addition, a tailored adjoint-based sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is presented to considerably reduce the computational cost and allow a real-time implementation of the resulting SNMPC. The prediction accuracy and control performance of the proposed approach are illustrated on a vehicle control application subject to external disturbances, while highlighting a worst-case computation time of 10 ms for SNMPC which is close to that of deterministic NMPC for this particular case study.
