暫譯: 飛行動力學、模擬與控制：剛性與柔性飛機的應用

《飛行、動力學、模擬與飛機控制：剛性與柔性，第二版》解釋了非線性飛機動力學的基本原理以及控制配置飛機設計的原則，適用於剛性和柔性飛機、無人機及無人航空載具（UAV）。

Dr. Ranjan Vepa earned his PhD in applied mechanics from Stanford University, Stanford, California, specialising in the area of aeroelasticity under the guidance of the late Professor Holt Ashley. He currently serves as a Reader in Aerospace Engineering in the School of Engineering and Material Science, Queen Mary University of London, where he has also been the programme director of the Avionics Programme since 2001. He is the author of seven books titled: Electric Aircraft Dynamics: A Systems Engineering Approach (CRC Press, 2020), Dynamics and Control of Autonomous Space Vehicles and Robotics (Cambridge University Press, 2019), Nonlinear Control of Robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: An Integrated Approach (CRC Press, 2016), Flight Dynamics Simulation and Control of Aircraft: Rigid and Flexible (CRC Press, 2014), Dynamic Modelling, Simulation and Control of Energy Generation (Springer, 2013), Dynamics of Smart Structures (Wiley, 2010) and Biomimetic Robotics: Mechanisms and Control (Cambridge University Press, 2009).

His research interests include the design of control systems, and associated signal processing with applications in aerospace systems, smart structures, robotics, biomedical engineering, and energy systems. In particular, the research interests include dynamics and robust adaptive estimation and control of linear and nonlinear aerospace, energy systems, including renewable and sustainable energy and desalination systems with parametric and dynamic uncertainties. Dr. Vepa is a member of the Royal Aeronautical Society, London; the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), New York; a fellow of the Higher Education Academy; a member of the Royal Institute of Navigation, London; and a chartered engineer.

Dr. Ranjan Vepa 於加州史丹佛大學獲得應用力學博士學位，專攻氣動彈性學，指導教授為已故的霍特·阿什利教授。他目前擔任倫敦女王瑪莉大學工程與材料科學學院的航空工程講師，自2001年以來也擔任航空電子學課程的課程主任。他是七本書的作者，書名包括：Electric Aircraft Dynamics: A Systems Engineering Approach（CRC Press, 2020）、Dynamics and Control of Autonomous Space Vehicles and Robotics（劍橋大學出版社, 2019）、Nonlinear Control of Robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: An Integrated Approach（CRC Press, 2016）、Flight Dynamics Simulation and Control of Aircraft: Rigid and Flexible（CRC Press, 2014）、Dynamic Modelling, Simulation and Control of Energy Generation（Springer, 2013）、Dynamics of Smart Structures（Wiley, 2010）以及 Biomimetic Robotics: Mechanisms and Control（劍橋大學出版社, 2009）。

他的研究興趣包括控制系統的設計及相關的信號處理，應用於航空系統、智慧結構、機器人、生物醫學工程和能源系統。特別是，研究興趣包括線性和非線性航空、能源系統的動力學及穩健自適應估計與控制，包括具有參數和動態不確定性的可再生和可持續能源及海水淡化系統。Dr. Vepa 是倫敦皇家航空學會、紐約電氣與電子工程師學會（IEEE）的成員，高等教育學院的院士，倫敦皇家導航學會的成員，以及特許工程師。
