Aims & Scope

The study of aerospace systems is becoming an increasingly critical challenge due to the presence of a wide range of nonlinearities (such as large structural deformations, joints, fluid-structure interaction, electro-mechanical interaction, etc.), and rigorous requirements of their efficiency and reliability to achieve net zero targets. Moreover, spacecraft dynamics also experience strong nonlinearities due to the perturbation forces (such as non-sphericity of Earth, atmospheric drag, solar radiation pressure, etc.), which make the spacecraft motion very sensitive to the initial state and these unmodeled forces. Therefore, it is important to characterize these uncertainties and quantify their influences on dynamical performance for improved design and analysis, and knowledge contributions in the identification of these nonlinear systems and their high sensitivity to dynamical behaviors. This Special Issue seeks submissions related to the modeling, quantification, and management of uncertainties and nonlinearities for the design, navigation, control, and identification of aerospace systems.
