The pitch motion of a gravity-gradient satellite can be chaotic, depending on the ratio of mass moments of inertia and the eccentricity of the satellite orbit. For a precise prediction of motion, chaotic pitch motion has to be changed to non-chaotic motion. Feedback control can be used to obtain nonchaotic pitch motion. For chaos control and stabilization of the pitch motion of a gravity-gradient satellite, a feedback control system is designed, based on the linear nonautonomous system obtained by linearizing the nonlinear pitch motion. The control law obtained has two parameters and is applied to chaotic nonlinear pitch motion. The nonlinear control system satisfies the proposed control objectives in the range of the nonchaotic parameter space.

In [1], E.B. Lee and L. Markus described a sufficient condition for which the domain of null-controllability of a linear autonomous system is all of R$^{n}$ . The purpose of this note is to extend the result to a certain linear nonautonomous system. Thus we consider a linear control system dx/dt = A(t)x+B(t)u in the Eculidean n-space R$^{n}$ where A(t) and B(t) are n*n and n*m matrices, respectively, which are continuous on 0.leq.t<.inf. and A(t) is a periodic matrix of period .omega.. Admissible controls are bounded measurable functions defined on some finite subintervals of [0, .inf.) having values in a certain convex set .ohm. in R$^{m}$ with the origin in its interior. And we present a sufficient condition for which the domain of null-controllability is all of R$^{n}$ .

An analysis is presented for the combination resonance of a clamped circular plate, which occurs when the frequency of the excitation is near the combination of the natural frequencies, that is, when ohm.=2.0mega.／sub 1／+omega.／sub 2／. The internal resonance, Omega.／sub 3／=omega.／sub 1／+2.omega.／sub 2／, is considered and its influence on the response is studied. The clamped circular plate experiencing mid-plane stretching is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation. By using Galerkin's method the governing equation is reduced to a system of nonautonomous ordinary differential equations. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain steady-state responses of the system. Results of numerical investigations show that the increase of the excitation amplitude can reduce the amplitudes of steady-state responses. We can not find this kind of results in linear systems.
