Linearization about the collinear libration point orbits yields an unstable linear parameter-varying system with periodic coefficients. Given the variational equations, an innovative control law based on characteristic exponent assignment is introduced for libration point orbit maintenance. A numerical simulation choosing the Richardson's third order approximation for a halo orbit as a nominal orbit is conducted, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of this control law.展开更多

The QR-faetorization method for calculating (LCEs) Lyapunov Characteristic Exponents was introduced; parametric resonance stability of ships in longitudinal waves was then analyzed using LCEs. Then the safe and unsafe regions of target ships were then identified. The results showed that this method can be used to analyze ship stability and to accurately identify safe and unsafe operating conditions for a ship in longitudinal waves.展开更多
