About the Book

Computational Optimal Control: Tools and Practice provides a detailed guide to informed use of computational optimal control in advanced engineering practice, addressing the need for a better understanding of the practical application of optimal control using computational techniques.

Throughout the text the authors employ an advanced aeronautical case study to provide a practical, real-life setting for optimal control theory. This case study focuses on an advanced, real-world problem known as the "terminal bunt manoeuvre" or special trajectory shaping of a cruise missile. Representing the many problems involved in flight dynamics, practical control and flight path constraints, this case study offers an excellent illustration of advanced engineering practice using optimal solutions. The book describes in practical detail the real and tested optimal control software, examining the advantages and limitations of the technology.

Featuring tutorial insights into computational optimal formulations and an advanced case-study approach to the topic, Computational Optimal Control: Tools and Practice provides an essential handbook for practising engineers and academics interested in practical optimal solutions in engineering.

  • Focuses on an advanced, real-world aeronautical case study examining optimisation of the bunt manoeuvre
  • Covers DIRCOL, NUDOCCCS, PROMIS and SOCS (under the GESOP environment), and BNDSCO
  • Explains how to configure and optimize software to solve complex real-world computational optimal control problems
  • Presents a tutorial three-stage hybrid approach to solving optimal control problem formulations

Dr S Subchan, Cranfield University, UK
Dr Subchan is a research officer in the Department of Aerospace, Power and Sensors at Cranfield University's Shrivenham campus. He studied for his PhD at Cranfield in 2005, having previously worked for 3 years for Indonesian Aircraft Industries at Bandung on computational fluid dynamics.

Dr Rafal Zbikowski, Cranfield University, UK
Dr Zbikowski is Reader in Control Engineering and is a Principal Research Officer in the Guidance and Control Group of the Department of Aerospace, Power and Sensors at Cranfield University's Shrivenham campus. Prior to this he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Glasgow University leading the Glasgow side of a joint project with Daimler-Benz on neural adaptive control technology for Mercedes products. Dr Zbikowski has published over fifty papers on adaptive and nonlinear aspects of intelligent control, and flapping wing micro air vehicles. A control engineer with a strong mathematical background, he is a member of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Since 1998 he has been instrumental in obtaining UK funding for four substantial projects in the area of guidance and control.
