Nonlinear underactuated systems such as two-wheeled inverted pendulums (TWIPs) exhibit a limited region of attraction (RoA), which defines the set of initial conditions from which the closed-loop system converges to the equilibrium. The RoA…
Reconfigurable reflectarray antennas (RRAs) have rapidly developed with various prototypes proposed in recent literatures. However, designing wideband, multiband, or high-frequency RRAs faces great challenges, especially the lengthy…
Two-inertia systems are prone to resonance vibrations that degrade their control performances. These unwanted vibrations can be effectively suppressed by control methods based on a disturbance observer (DOB). Vibration suppression control…
We show that the two-dimensional structure of a rigidly rotating self-gravitating body is accessible with relatively good precision by assuming a purely spheroidal stratification. With this hypothesis, the two-dimensional problem becomes…

We investigate the superintegrability of rigid body rotors coupled to planar systems. In particular, we study the isotropic harmonic oscillator in two dimensions, with its (central) force acting on the rotor's center of mass constrained to…
Simultaneously accurate and reliable tracking control for quadrotors in complex dynamic environments is challenging. As aerodynamics derived from drag forces and moment variations are chaotic and difficult to precisely identify, most…
Rigid electron rotation of a fully penetrated Rotamak-FRC produces a pressure flux function that is more peaked than the Solov'ev flux function. This paper explores the implications of this peaked pressure flux function, including the…
We analyze mesons in constant magnetic fields ($B$) within a non-relativistic constituent quark model. Our quark model contains a harmonic oscillator type confining potential, and we perturbatively treat short range correlations to account…

We develop a reduced-order model for thin plates made of hard magnetorheological elastomers (hard-MREs), which are materials composed of hard-magnetic particles embedded in a polymeric matrix. First, we propose a new magnetic potential, as…
We present an improved method to measure the rotation curves for disks with non-axisymmetric brightness profiles initially published in Teague et al. (2018a). Application of this method to the well studied AS$~$209 system shows substantial…
