Hierarchical Control for Trajectory Generation and Tracking Via Active Front Steering (2019)
Journal Article
Hellewell, J. S., Popov, A. A., & Burnett, G. E. (2020). Hierarchical Control for Trajectory Generation and Tracking Via Active Front Steering. Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control, 142(1), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4044620

A new hierarchical model predictive controller for autonomous vehicle steering control is presented. The controller generates a path of shortest distance by determining lateral coordinates on a longitudinal grid, while respecting road bounds. This pa...

© 2019 Violetta Di Napoli, et al. This paper presents a mathematical model to describe the 2 in-plane response of supported ring-based MEMS Coriolis Vibrating Gyroscopes (CVGs), including mechanical non-linearity in ring and support structures. Whils... Read More about Effects of mechanical non-linearity on the dynamic behaviour of ring-based inertial rate sensors.

Nonlinear electrostatic effects in MEMS ring-based rate sensors under shock excitation (2019)
Journal Article
Sieberer, S., Mcwilliam, S., & Popov, A. A. (2019). Nonlinear electrostatic effects in MEMS ring-based rate sensors under shock excitation. International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 157-158, 485-497. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmecsci.2019.04.028

The vibration response of a capacitive ring-based Coriolis Vibrating Gyroscope (CVG) subjected to in-plane shock is modelled and analysed to quantify the effect of shock on angular velocity measurement. The model developed considers a ring resonator... Read More about Nonlinear electrostatic effects in MEMS ring-based rate sensors under shock excitation.
