Fuzzy attitude control for a nanosatellite in low Earth orbit

In order to develop and introduce intelligent systems in the space field, an adaptive fuzzy logic controller is designed for a nanosatellite. Attitude determination and control subsystem (ADCS) and its performance and efficiency are compared with a traditional proportional integrative derivative (PID) controller.

Dynamics of weakly coupled parametrically forced oscillators

The dynamics of two weakly coupled parametric oscillators are studied in the neighborhood of the primary subharmonic instability. The nature of both primary and secondary instabilities depends in a critical way on the permutation symmetries, if any, that remain after coupling is considered, and this depends on the relative phases of the parametric forcing terms.
