Hopf bifurcation analysis for depth control of submersible vehicles

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. === Control of a modern submarine is a multi-dimensional problem coupling initial stability, hydrodynamic and control system response. The loss of stability at moderate to high speeds is examined using a nonlinear Hopf bifurcation analysis. Comple...
