Modellierung und Regelung komplexer dynamischer Systeme: Geometry and Control of Mechanical Systems: An Eulerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Approach (Journal or book series)

Description

The fist part of this thesis discusses point and continuum mechanics using differential geometric methods. Special emphasis is placed on the interpretation of well known results using the geometric machinery and their generalization from a geometric point of view. The second part of this dissertaion is focused on the geometric analysis of time variant Hamiltonian systems, where again the coordinate free description plays a key role. These systems arise in the context of control theory for example when the error system with respect to a certain trajectory can be expressed as a Hamiltonian system.
