Stabilizability of controlled Lagrangian systems by the method of energy shaping

Abstract: I will explain the method of energy shaping for controlled Lagrangian (or, simple mechanical) systems, and present my recent results on stabilizability by the energy shaping method. Click here for the CDS Seminar page

LCS for Flow Around a Sphere

Abstract: I will be talking about the software I developed over the summer to deal with experimental flows with highly varying mean velocities. The emphasis will be on speed, ridge and LCS detection, and how to approach 3-D effects when looking at a 2-D field.
