Discussion on: "State feedback fuzzy adaptive control for active shimmy damping"

The paper by Pouly et al. addresses modeling and control design for a classical physical system, an elastic rotating wheel with a vertical steering axis, which can be found in many vehicles characterized by critical safety issues, aircrafts and motorcycles above all. the aim of this discussion paper is to highlight the key points, in the paper by Pouly et al., that could be of interest for further investigation by the same authors and by other research groups working on similar topics. The rest of the paper presents the points of discussion following the sequential order in which fundamental steps of any control project are typically addressed: modeling, control design, realisation.
