Research Interests

Dr. Shtessel has been working on a wide variety of research topics encompassing Nonlinear Nonminimum Phase Output Tracking on Sliding Modes with Application to Flight and Space Vehicle Control. Presently, Dr. Shtessel is actively involved in a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) trajectory control. Aircraft control reconfiguration addressing aircraft damage and actuator saturation is in his current field of interest, as well. Employing a time scaling concept a new two/three-loop structure of the control system for an RLV is developed for ascend and descend modes. Continuous sliding mode controllers, including the continuous finite-reaching-time sliding mode controllers are designed to robustly enforce the given close-loop RLV dynamics. Improving a tailess aircraft control the continuous finite-reaching-time sliding mode controller is developed and tailored to the dynamic prioritization algorithm for the control allocator design. Improving an aircraft tracking performance recovery from the damage to an aircraft a reconfigurable continuous sliding mode controllers are design with a direct adaptation taking into account the actuator saturation.
