Adaptive Aeroservoelastic Control

This is the first book on adaptive aeroservoelasticity and it presents the nonlinear and recursive techniques for adaptively controlling the uncertain aeroelastic dynamics

• Covers both linear and nonlinear control methods in a comprehensive manner
• Mathematical presentation of adaptive control concepts is rigorous
• Several novel applications of adaptive control presented here are not to be found in other literature on the topic
• Many realistic design examples are covered, ranging from adaptive flutter suppression of wings to the adaptive control of transonic limit-cycle oscillations
