This was a major scientific achievement. However, his solution for the metric of a spherically symmetric spacetime is different than the one found in textbooks today—because
 Schwarzschild assumed, like in Newtonian gravity, that only one singularity could exist. Given the newness of Einstein's general theory of relativity and the existing paradigm of Newtonian gravity, his assumption was natural. While other authors have previously pointed out this shortcoming
 and corrected it, the contribution of this paper is to show how Schwarzschild might have discovered it himself. A simple geometric proof indicates how Schwarzschild, with a different assignment of a single constant of integration, would have arrived at the metric found in textbooks today.}, number={1}, journal={PHYSICS ESSAYS}, author={Miller, Lane R. and Silverberg, Larry M. and Eischen, Jeffrey W. and Miller, Samuel R.}, year={2024}, month={Mar}, pages={74–79} }

Furthermore, their trajectories will be influenced by gravitational sources. Accordingly, this paper applies to interstellar missions a recently developed formulation of relativistic mechanics that predicts a spacecraft’s trajectory when it passes by a gravitational source at a relativistic speed. The formulation, called spacetime impetus, is unique in that it employs a relativistic universal law of gravitation that does not explicitly require general relativity while producing precisely the same results. Based on these developments, an analyst can now update nonrelativistic mission planning codes to give them general relativistic capabilities. It requires augmenting the code with relativistic velocities and relativistic accelerations, the replacement of the universal law of gravitation with a relativistic universal law of gravitation, and setting up Lorentz transformations between frames.}, journal={JOURNAL OF SPACECRAFT AND ROCKETS}, author={Silverberg, Larry M. and Eischen, Jeffrey W.}, year={2023}, month={Sep} }

The study included 397 passes (trials) over 99 flights at altitudes ranging from 15 to 55 meters in three categories of response level: No response, Alert, and Movement. The ungulates were unhabituated to the UAVs and the study was conducted in the presence of stress-inducing events that occur naturally in the environment. Certain species were found to be more reactive than others, in addition to several displaying different response levels in single or mixed herd environments. Zebras were found to be less responsive in mixed herd environments while Oryx were present, as compared to when the Oryx were not; suggesting that some species may respond based on other species perception of threat or their relative fitness levels. The UAVs also produced inconsistent response rates between movement and alert behavior. The reference vehicle, Phantom 3 was much more likely than the Mavic to induce an alert response, while both having similar probabilities of inducing a movement response. Furthermore, the Custom X8 showed significantly more alert and movement responses than the other UAVs. This shows there may be several aspects to the UAVs that affect the responses of the ungulates. For instance, the sound intensity may alert the species more often, but close proximity may induce a movement response. More generally, the data shows that when the UAV is flying above 50 meters and has a measured sound intensity below 50 dB, the likelihood of inducing a movement response on an ungulate species is below 6% regardless of the vehicle on the first pass over the animals. Additionally, with each subsequent pass the likelihood of response dropped by approximately 20 percent. The results suggest a stronger correlation between flight altitude and response across the different ungulates, and the evidence suggests rapid habituation to the UAVs.}, number={7}, journal={PLOS ONE}, author={vanVuuren, Marlice and vanVuuren, Rudie and Silverberg, Larry M. and Manning, Joe and Pacifici, Krishna and Dorgeloh, Werner and Campbell, Jennifer}, year={2023}, month={Jul} }

However, engineers from different domains approach the system/component development at different levels of abstraction. Information gaps are created because of their different perspectives. In addition, although systems have become more complex, requiring more attention to testing, system methodologies have not kept up. A new framework is needed to bridge the information gaps between the different domains. To take full advantage of both model-based approaches and testing, we propose a new framework, in the form of a new design structure matrix, for complex system development (CSD) that more effectively utilizes information flow from model-based testing (MBT). Toward the goal of being broadly applicable, the framework was designed to be fundamental, flexible, and scalable. A case study of a powertrain design demonstrates how the proposed framework bridges gaps in early development stages. The analysis of both simulation and field testing results has shown that utilization of feedback from MBT refines requirements by closing information gaps earlier. All the information loops in the framework match the information loops in the case study. Furthermore, the framework, because of CSD's iterative nature, has potential in improving information reuse.}, number={3}, journal={IEEE SYSTEMS JOURNAL}, author={Zhu, Di and Pritchard, Ewan G.

The development of the approaches relies on past work in the areas of distributed control (modal, robust, optimal, and decentralized). The formation coordination problem is divided into a tracking problem (changing the formation) and a regulation problem (maintaining the formation). How to separate the spatial parts of the tracking problem from the temporal parts is demonstrated. With respect to the regulation problem, it is shown that the goal of the regulation problem is to dampen uniformly the motion of the aircraft. It is pointed out that for fuel-optimality the closed-loop damping factors of the aircraft need to be less than π/2. Two types of decentralized coordination are examined: direct coordination (using inertial measurements) and nearest-neighbor coordination (using relative measurements). A perturbation analysis is developed for the efficient calculation of control gains that minimize power and uniformly dampen motion. A numerical example illustrates robust formation changes from nine-aircraft (3 × × 3) grids to V-type formations. Why the performance of direct coordination is generally better than the performance of nearestneighbor coordination and why implementing direct coordination is simpler than implementing nearest-neighbor coordination are explained. However, nearest-neighbor coordination can be used in collision avoidance, and so it must still be considered as a viable option.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF AIRCRAFT}, author={Silverberg, L and Levedahl, BA}, year={2005}, pages={469–477} }

Transpermanent magnetic actuators are shown to be particularly wellsuited for spacecraft pointing, shape control, and deployment applications. In many spacecraft pointing, shape control, and deployment applications, it is desirable to hold displacements or forces between two points to within specified requirements (the regulation problem) and periodically to change or remove these requirements (the tracking problem). Furthermore, the interest generally lies in satisfying the dynamic performance requirements while expending minimal power, while meeting tight tolerances (particularly in optical applications), and while experiencing little wear and fatigue. The transpermanent magnetic actuator is shown to expend no power during regulation, and the transpermanent magnetic actuator is shown to be able to change periodically or remove the strength of its own magnets, thereby enabling both fine-tune adjustments and large-scale adjustments during tracking. The fine-tune adjustments are necessary in thermally varying space environments, and the large-scale adjustments are necessary in deployment problems in which pivot points experience large-angle rotations.

The charge distribution is assumed to be periodic in the vertical direction, which is tantamount to neglecting end effects. Experimental results verify the accuracy of the predictions in the presence of the order-reduction assumptions.

The method involves the utilization of modal techniques to calculate the proportional, integral, and derivative gains in a feedback control law. The gains are calculated by first converting the system into the modal domain, second by employing the principles of uniform damping and stiffening to the system in the modal domain, and finally by converting that system back into the physical domain. The beauty of this technique lies in the fact that even though the principles of modal control are used in gain setting, no modal information is needed in the fined control law.
