The continuous development of metal additive manufacturing (AM) promises the flexible and
customized production, spurring AM research towards end-use part fabrication rather than …

The Stefan PDE system is a representative model for thermal phase change phenomena,
such as melting and solidification, arising in numerous science and engineering processes …

This book explores the development of PDE (partial differential equation) backstep**
controllers for the suppression of stop-and-go instabilities and oscillations in congested …

Extremum seeking, an online model-free optimization algorithm with traditionally
exponential convergence, was recently advanced by Poveda and coauthors to fixed-time …

This paper considers the problem of the deployment of a set of agents distributed on a disk-
shaped grid onto three-dimensional (3-D) profiles, by using a continuum approximation …

The so-called Stefan system describes the dynamical model of the liquid–solid phase
change in materials ranging from water and ice in the polar caps to metal casting and …

High-relative-degree control barrier functions play a prominent role in automotive safety and
in robotics. In this article, we launch a generalization of this concept for PDE control, treating …

The Stefan system is a representative model for a liquid–solid phase change which
describes the dynamics of a material's temperature profile and the liquid–solid interface …

Accurate temperature control is critical for the laser soldering process as it directly affects the
quality of the solder joint. However, it is challenging to control the soldering temperature …
