Mechanics and Control : Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Control Mechanics, January 21 23, 1991, University of Southern California, USA (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences .170) (1992. iv, 301 S. 26 SW-Abb.,. 244 mm)

The workshop on Control Mechanics, originated in 1988, beca- me an annual event and gained considerable recognition in advancing control of nonlinear and uncertain mechanical sy- tems and promoting application of advanced mechanics in con- trol. The fourth meeting continues the tradition with 17 papers containing original and recent work of the partici- pants developed in 3 basic directions: feed-back control of uncertain systems, flexible mechanical structures and flight control.
