Advanced Guidance and Control
About
About the course
Course content
The course is given every second year starting Spring 2009, next time Spring 2011.
Mathematical modeling and equations of motion for ships, aircraft and space craft. For ships this includes frequency-dependent computation of hydrodynamic added mass and damping, sealoads, current loads and wind loads as well as state-space models using Cummins equations to represent fluid memory effects.
Advanced topics for model-based design of autopilots, trajectory-tracking, path-following, maneuvering systems and attitude-/positioning systems.
Learning outcome
Be able to model, control and simulate ships, aircraft and spacecraft i 6 DOF.
Learning methods and activities
Teaching, meetings and independent study.
Recommended previous knowledge
Background in nonlinear systems, modeling of marine vessels/hydrodynamics as well as systems for guidance and control.
