With this contribution, we give a complete and comprehensive framework for modeling the
dynamics of complex mechanical structures as port-Hamiltonian systems. This is motivated …

The development of the port-Hamiltonian (PH) approach in the past three decades led to a
structured, energy-based framework for modeling, systemtheoretic analysis and control of …

We present a structure-preserving spatial discretization method for infinite-dimensional non-
linear port-Hamiltonian representations of a commonly used one-dimensional two-phase …

This paper proposes to solve the dynamics of the Kirchhoff-Carrier nonlinear string model
using the finite elements method. In order to ensure the power balance of the resulting finite …

Development of a geometric port-Hamiltonian approach for modelling and simulating
morphing-wing aerial robots and in particular flap**-wing robots. The thesis comprehends …
