一种空中加油可变阻尼稳定伞设计及性能分析

为了突破传统空中加油稳定伞对于加油机飞行速度和高度的限制,设计了一种加装气动弹性支架的可变阻尼稳定伞。通过流固耦合(FSI)数值模拟,得到不同工况下的片状弹簧变形与稳定伞伞面形状,通过计算流体动力学(CFD)得到稳定伞气动力的变化趋势。根据气动力结果计算软管的拖拽形状及锥套下沉量。仿真结果表明:所设计的可变阻尼稳定伞的阻力变化量和锥套在空中位置变化范围分别降至传统稳定伞的70%和60%,能够实现阻力的自适应控制,拓宽了传统结构稳定伞适用的速度、高度范围。

Trajectory tracking control of a VTOL unmanned aerial vehicle using offset-free tracking MPC

Designing a stable and robust flight control system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) is an arduous task. This paper addresses the trajectory tracking control problem of a Ducted Fan UAV(DFUAV) using offset-free Model Predictive Control(MPC) technique in the presence of various uncertainties and external disturbances.

An aggregate flow based scheduler in multi-task cooperated UAVs network

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) cooperative multi-task system has become the research focus in recent years. However, the existing network frameworks of UAVs are not flexible and efficient enough to deal with the complex multi-task scheduling, because they are not able to perceive the different features. In this paper, a novel cooperated UAVs network framework for multi-task scheduling is proposed. It is a three-layer network including a core layer, an aggregation layer and an execution layer, wh...     

Periodic event-triggered formation control for multi-UAV systems with collision avoidance

In this paper, periodic event-triggered formation control problems with collision avoidance are studied for leader–follower multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Firstly, based on the Artificial Potential Field (APF) method, a novel sliding manifold is proposed for controller design, which can solve the problem of collision avoidance. Then, the event-triggered strategy is applied to the distributed formation control of multi-UAV systems, where the evaluation of the event condition is continuous. In addition, the exclusion of Zeno behavior can be guaranteed by the inter-event time between two successive trigger events have a positive lower bound. Next, a periodic event-triggered mechanism is developed for formation control based on the continuous event-triggered mechanism. The periodic trigger mechanism does not need additional hardware circuits and sophisticated sensors, which can reduce the control cost. The stability of the control system is proved by the Lyapunov function method. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.     

Modeling and simulation of a time-varying inertia aircraft in aerial refueling

Studied in this paper is dynamic modeling and simulation application of the receiver aircraft with the time-varying mass and inertia property in an integrated simulation environment which includes two other significant factors, i.e., a hose–drogue assembly dynamic model with the variable-length property and the wind effect due to the tanker's trailing vortices. By extending equations of motion of a fixed weight aircraft derived by Lewis et al., a new set of equations of motion for a receiver in aerial refueling is derived. The equations include the time-varying mass and inertia property due to fuel transfer and the fuel consumption by engines, and the fuel tanks have a rectangle shape rather than a mass point. They are derived in terms of the translational and rotational position and velocity of the receiver with respect to an inertial reference frame. A linear quadratic regulator(LQR) controller is designed based on a group of linearized equations under the initial receiver mass condition. The equations of motion of the receiver with a LQR controller are implemented in the integrated simulation environment for autonomous approaching and station-keeping of the receiver in simulations.
