CAREER: Prediction and Control of Nonlinear Oscillations: Application to Mechanical and Cardiac Dynamics

9625161 Bayly这个CAREER项目强调动态系统理论和控制领域的教育和研究的整合。在教育计划中，通过物理实验、本科和研究生课程开发以及外展活动，提高了对非线性系统的洞察力。研究应用涉及两个领域：旋翼机动力学和心室颤动动力学。具体来说，研究了旋翼飞行器的周期轨道稳定化，为自动驾驶仪稳定潜在的不稳定或中稳定周期行为提供了理论基础。在心室颤动的动力学和控制领域，与阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校和Cardiac Pace Makers， Inc.的医疗团队合作开展了一个实验项目。重点是描述心室颤动动力学的定量方法的发展，预测和控制非线性动力学的算法，以及通过起搏刺激改善心室颤动局部捕获的临床方法

9625161 Bayly This CAREER project emphasizes the integration of education and research in the areas of dynamic system theory and control. In the education plan, insight into nonlinear systems is enhanced through physical experiments, undergraduate and graduate course development, and outreach activities. The research applications deal with two areas: rotorcraft dynamics, and the dynamics of ventricular fibrillation. Specifically, stabilization of periodic orbits in rotocrafts is investigated providing a theoretical basis for an autopilot that stabilizes underlying unstable or neutrally stable periodic behavior. In the area of dynamics and control of ventricular fibrillation, an experimental project is carried out in collaboration with a medical team from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Cardiac Pace Makers, Inc. Emphases is on the development of quantitative methods to characterize the dynamics of ventricular fibrillation, algorithms to predict and control nonlinear dynamics, and clinical methods to improve regional capture of ventricular fibrillation by pacing stimuli.***
