  This paper deals with the stabilization problem for nonlinear control-affine
systems with the use of oscillating feedback controls. We assume that the local
controllability around the origin is guaranteed by the rank condition with Lie
brackets of length up to 3. This class of systems includes, in particular,
mathematical models of rotating rigid bodies. We propose an explicit control
design scheme with time-varying trigonometric polynomials whose coefficients
depend on the state of the system. The above coefficients are computed in terms
of the inversion of the matrix appearing in the controllability condition. It
is shown that the proposed controllers can be used to solve the stabilization
problem by exploiting the Chen-Fliess expansion of solutions of the closed-loop
system. We also present results of numerical simulations for controlled Euler's
equations and a mathematical model of underwater vehicle to illustrate the
efficiency of the obtained controllers.
