Caetano, J.V. (author), Weehuizen, M.B. (author), De Visser, C.C. (author), De Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), Mulder, M. (author)Several formulations have been proposed to model the dynamics of ornithopters, with inconclusive results regarding the need for complex kinematic formulations. Furthermore, the impact of assumptions made in the collected results was never assessed by comparing simulations with real flight data. In this study two dynamic models of a Flapping Wing...journal article 2015

Online Aerodynamic Model Identification using a Recursive Sequential Method for Multivariate SplinesSun, L.G. (author), De Visser, C.C. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)Avoiding high computational loads is essential to online aerodynamic model identi- fication algorithms, which are at the heart of any model-based adaptive flight control system. Multivariate simplex B-spline (MVSB) methods are excellent function approximation tools for modeling the nonlinear aerodynamics of high performance aircraft. However,...journal article 2013

Sun, L.G. (author), De Visser, C.C. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)The optimality of the kernel number and kernel centers plays a significant role in determining the approximation power of nearly all kernel methods. However, the process of choosing optimal kernels is always formulated as a global optimization task, which is hard to accomplish. Recently, an algorithm, namely improved recursive reduced least...journal article 2012

De Visser, C.C. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)The ability to perform online model identification for nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics is essential to any adaptive model-based control system. In this paper, a new differential equality constrained recursive least squares estimator for multivariate simplex splines is presented that is able to perform online model identification and...journal article 2011

De Visser, C.C. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)A new methodology for creating highly accurate, static nonlinear maps from scattered, multivariate data is presented. This new methodology uses the B-form polynomials of multivariate simplex splines in a new linear regression scheme. This allows the use of standard parameter estimation techniques for estimating the B-coefficients of the...journal article 2009
