A multi-satellite co-tracking method for a single space target based on adaptive distributed spherical simplex information-weighted consensus filter

A multi-satellite co-tracking method for a single non-cooperative target is proposed to extend the arc of observation as well as to improve the accuracy of tracking. Firstly, the motion of the target is considered to be affected by J2 perturbation, and the model of multi-satellite co-tracking a single space target is designed with only measured angles. Then, a multi-satellite co-tracking method for a single space target based on an adaptive distributed spherical simplex information-weighted consensus filter (ADSSICF) is proposed. The spherical simplex is used to reduce the computational cost of the information filter, and to improve the efficiency of tracking. The angle-only measurement equation is linearized by the statistical linear regression method, and linearization errors are compensated for by updating measurement noise. By designing an adaptive consensus algorithm, only a small number of iterations are needed to achieve network consensus, to improve the convergence speed of the consensus algorithm, and prove the stability of ADSSICF. Finally, a simulation of four low-orbit satellites tracking a single space target is established. The focus of this paper is on the real-time performance and tracking accuracy of the multi-satellite co-tracking a single space target with angle-only based on ADSSICF. The performance of ADSSICF is verified from three indicators: the consensus and convergence of algorithm, the accuracy of state estimation.

Evolution mechanism of lamellar α and interlayered β during hot compression of TC21 titanium alloy with a widmanstätten structure

TC21 titanium alloy, as an important metal to fabricate the aircraft structural components, has attracted great attentions recently. A TC21 titanium alloy with widmanstätten structure was isothermally compressed. Based on the microstructure observation, the evolution of initial β grain, Grain Boundary α phase (α_GB), lamellar α and interlayered β was systematically investigated. The results showed that, with the increasing of height reduction, the α_GB underwent an evolution process from bending/kinking to breaking inducing the corresponding blurring of initial coarse β grain outline. Meanwhile, a significant phase transformation from α to β took place at the terminations of broken α_GB. The evolution of lamellar α and interlayered β in the colony was closely related to their deformation compatibility. In the α colony, the interlayered β experienced a larger deformation amount than lamellar α. The higher distortion energy promoted the occurrence of Dynamic Recovery (DRV) and Dynamic Recrystallization (DRX) to generate many Low Angle Boundaries (LABs) and High Angle Boundaries (HABs) in interlayered β, which induced an apparent grain refinement of β phase. On the contrary, the lower distortion energy and low deformation temperature suppressed the occurrence of DRV/DRX and restrained the globularization of lamellar α. Furthermore, the microstructure observation clearly revealed that the shearing separation mechanism dominated the evolution of the α phase from lamellar to short bar-like morphology.     

Fractional order adaptive robust formation control of multiple quad-rotor UAVs with parametric uncertainties and wind disturbances

In recent times, multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being widely utilized in several areas of applications such as agriculture, surveillance, disaster management, search and rescue operations. Degree of robustness of applied control schemes determines how accurate a swarm of UAVs accomplish group tasks. Formation and trajectory tracking controllers are required for the swarm of multiple UAVs. Factors like external environmental effects, parametric uncertainties and wind gusts make the controller design process as a challenging task. This article proposes fractional order formation and trajectory tacking controllers for multiple quad-rotors using Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control (STSMC) technique. To compensate the effects of the disturbances due to parametric uncertainties and wind gusts, Lyapunov function based adaptive controllers are formulated. Moreover, Lyapunov theorem is used to guarantee the stability of the proposed controllers. Three types of controllers, namely fixed gain STSMC and fractional order Adaptive Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control (ASTSMC) methods are tested for the swarm of UAVs by performing the numerical simulations in MATLAB/Simulink environment. From the presented results, it is verified that in presence of wind disturbances and parametric uncertainties, the proposed fractional order ASTSMC technique showed improved robustness as compared to the fixed gain STSMC and integer order ASTSMC.

Adaptive vector field based accurate homing control of aerial delivery systems

This paper investigates the homing control problem of a flexible aerial delivery system with external wind, at-mospheric turbulence, and aerodynamic uncertainties. An accurate homing control strategy is presented, consisting of a trajectory generation algorithm and a lateral tracking controller. A high-altitude trajectory generation is de-veloped with system characteristics explicitly considered to generate the desired trajectory for the aerial delivery control system design. It significantly compensates for the altitude deviation of the existing multiphase theory based trajectory generation methodologies. A novel adaptive vector field control law is then designed to accom-plish the lateral tracking maneuvers. The key feature of the proposed method is that the complete lateral closed-loop control, including position and heading angle loops, is achieved in the presence of disturbances and dynamic uncertainties. The homing control with high landing accuracy is therefore achieved. Simulation and hardware-in-loop testing results are finally presented to validate the proposed method’s effectiveness compared to a conventional homing control scheme.     

Nonlinear adaptive flight control system: Performance enhancement and validation

The problem of decreasing stability margins in L₁ adaptive control systems is discussed and an out-of-loop L₁ adaptive control scheme based on Lyapunov’s stability theorem is proposed. This scheme enhances the effectiveness of the adaptation, which ensures that the system has sufficient stability margins to achieve the desired performance under parametric uncertainty, additional delays, and actuator faults. The stability of the developed control system is demonstrated through a series of simulations. Compared with an existing control scheme, the constant adjustment of the stability margins by the proposed adaptive scheme allows their range to be extended by a factor of 4–5, bringing the stability margin close to that of variable gain PD control with adaptively scheduled gains. The engineered practicability of adaptive technology is verified. A series of flight tests verify the practicability of the designed adaptive technology. The results of these tests demonstrate the enhanced performance of the proposed control scheme with nonlinear parameter estimations under insufficient stability margins and validate its robustness in the event of actuator failures.
