β¦ Synopsis
This work deals with the guidance and control of a system which is composed of a rolling disk and a slender rod that is freely pivoted, through its middle point, about the disk's center. The motion of the disk-rod system is subjected to state and control constraints, of which one of them serves as a generalized, horizontal version, of the inverse pendulum problem. In this work two concepts are introduced. First the concept of feasible command strategies is introduced and their applicability is demonstrated by solving a guidance and control problem concerning the above-mentioned system. Second, the concept of path controllability is introduced and a condition is derived for the system's motion path controllability.
The derivation of this condition enables one to design closed-loop control laws for the systems's motion.

In this paper, a new formulation for the inverse kinematic problem in cartesian coordinates is developed, to analyze the movement of a robot arm with multiple links from one point in space to another point. In this model the only decision variables are the coordinates of each joint of the robot arm
A mathematical model for a three-component accelerograph is presented that accounts for the e ects of transducer misalignment and cross-axis sensitivity. The former refers to departures in the alignment of the transducer penduli (typically of the order of few degrees) from an ideal orthogonal system
The authors extend the deduction of the equations satisfied by the force fields from inertial to rotating frames, when the curves of a certain family are known to be solutions for the equations of motion. Then Drimbii's equation is obtained as a consequence of this result. The works of Hadamard and
