Dynamic stability refers to an aircraft's long-term behavior after a disturbance, focusing on how quickly any resulting oscillations are damped. The critical "short period mode" (fast pitch ...

Stability analysis of time-varying dynamical systems concerns the behaviour of solutions when the governing laws or parameters evolve explicitly over time. Unlike autonomous systems, non-autonomous ...

Vibrations and dynamic instability are common in equipment and structural systems, potentially leading to severe incidents and equipment failures. Consequently, vibration control has emerged as a ...

Static stability describes an aircraft's initial response to a disturbance, categorized as positive (returns to equilibrium), neutral (stays in a new state), or negative (moves further away). Dynamic ...

As with so much in mathematics, the proof started with coffee. In September 2019, Kathryn Mann of Cornell University visited Kingston, Ontario, to give a guest lecture at Queen’s University. Afterward ...
