Real-Time Simulation and Control of Flexible Launch Vehicles
The target of this project is to develop real-time simulation and control tools for flexile launch vehicles. Both the direct numerical integration scheme and indirect dynamic beam solution (based-on sensor measurement data) are sought. Moreover, they are both constrained by the requirement of delivering "real-time" solutions for further control studies.
