Bifurcation and Normal Forms of Dive Plane Reversal of Submersible Vehicles
Conference Paper (2.122Mb)Abstract
The problem of dive plane reversal of submersible vehicles
at low speeds is analyzed using bifurcation theory.
Simulation and numerical results are supported by
a formal analysis procedure which includes calculation of
normal forms and invariant resonant terms. It is shown
that the primary loss of stability occurs in the form of
a pitchfork bifurcation. A feedback control strategy is
proposed which guarantees local stability of the nominal
equilibrium state across the bifurcation point. Other
applications, currently under consideration, for this general
approach of bifurcation control are outlined.
