Time delay compensation in lateral-directional flight control systems at high angles of attack

The previous studies of time delay compensation in flight control systems are all based on the conventional aerodynamic derivative model and conducted in longitudinal motions at low angles of attack. In this investigation, the effects of time delay on the lateral-directional stability augmentation system in high-α regime are discussed based on the $\dot{\beta }$ model, which is proposed in our previous work and proved as a more accurate aerodynamic model to reveal the lateral-directional unsteady aerodynamic characteristics at high angles of attack. Both the $\dot{\beta }$ model and the quasi-steady model are used for simulating the effects of time delay on the flying qualities in high-α maneuvers. The comparison between the simulation results shows that the flying qualities are much more sensitive to the mismatch of feedback gains than the state errors caused by time delay. Then a typical adaptive controller based on the conventional dynamic derivative model and a gain-prediction compensator based on $\dot{\beta }$ model are designed to address the time delay in different maneuvers. The simulation results show that the gain-prediction compensator is much simpler and more efficient at high angles of attack. Finally, the gain-prediction compensator is combined with a linearized $\dot{\beta }$ model reference adaptive controller to compensate the adverse effects of very large time delay, which exhibits excellent performance when addressing the extreme conditions at high angles of attack.     

Adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode control for the free-floating space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure

Space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure simultaneously contains kinematic and dynamic coupling relationships, so it belongs to a new underactuated system. To allow the manipulator to carry on tasks, an effective robust underactuated control method for the space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure is studied in this paper. Considering the effect of model uncertainty and joint torque disturbance, a robust underactuated control system based on the Terminal Sliding Mode Controller (TSMC) is designed, but two drawbacks are discussed: (A) Robustness depraves with eliminating chattering. (B) Control parameters are difficult to be determined under unknown uncertainty and disturbance. To improve the TSMC, the adaptive fuzzy controller is introduced to estimate the real effect of unknown uncertainty and disturbance according to deviations of sliding mode and its reaching law. The estimated result is directly compensated into active joints torque. In simulation, the space manipulator with free-swinging joint executes tasks based on the TSMC and the Adaptive Fuzzy Terminal Sliding Mode Controller (AFTSMC) respectively. Same tasks can be finished with smaller joints torque and stronger robustness based on the AFTSMC. Therefore, AFTSMC can serve as an effective robust control method for the space manipulator with free-swinging joint failure under unknown model uncertainty and torque disturbance.     

基于干扰观测器的柔性空间机器人在轨精细操作控制方法

由于强非线性、强耦合和强时变等特征,柔性空间机器人的稳定精细控制问题一直是一个重大挑战。轻质小型化机器人受空间及重量限制,其关节柔性通常不可忽略,这部分柔性主要是由谐波减速器和力矩传感器的柔性造成的。传统的运动学控制在空载时能保持稳定,但是对大负载、快速运动时的适应性差,严重时机械臂抖动剧烈甚至发散。针对以上特征,提出了一种基于非线性干扰观测器和动力学极点配置的柔性空间机器人在轨精细操作控制方法。仿真实验证明,该方法可以有效地抑制柔性激振,保证响应的快速性和准确性,同时有较好的鲁棒性,能够适应不同类型扰动的影响和末端环境柔顺控制的要求,对工程应用具有一定的参考意义。     

电机-变距螺旋桨动力系统功率优化控制

电动螺旋桨无人机应用越来越普及,但普遍续航时间较短,提高电动力系统效率、降低功率消耗是提高航时的主要措施。电机-变距螺旋桨动力系统（以下简称变距电动力系统）可同时改变转速、桨距两个量,存在桨距和转速的最佳组合,使系统功率最小。相比电机-定距螺旋桨动力系统,其在耗能方面具有特殊优势,但如何达到最小功率点,目前研究较少。针对上述问题,为提高计算效率,便于控制研究工作的开展,首先基于改进天牛须算法的BP神经网络训练得到变距电动力系统的神经网络代理模型。接着提出了一种变距电动力系统功率优化控制策略：在一定入流速度、拉力需求下,基于自适应扩展卡尔曼滤波-牛顿法实时优化桨距,并在一定桨距下利用模糊PID控制系统转速以达目标拉力,实现目标拉力需求下的最小功率控制。仿真验证结果表明,提出的功率优化控制策略鲁棒性更强、优化速度更快、收敛效果更好。

Decision-making of Aircraft Optimum Configuration Utilizing Multidimensional Game Theory

As multi-discipline coupling and components interference often affect the aircraft configuration decision-making and analysis during conceptual design process, this article presents an approach of multidimensional game theory based on aircraft components to deal with this problem. The idea is that the configuration decision-making process is regarded as the game for different disciplines and technologies, and the aircraft components are players. The payoff function with highest total gain means that according to the game protocols and multidimensional theory, the optimal aircraft configuration within the strategy set will be chosen. The decision-making model is applied to conceptual design process of the high altitude long endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on the assessment of technological risk. The obtained optimum configuration is quite consistent with the current HALE UAV development trends. Thus, taking into account the coupling and interference factors, the multidimensional gaming model based on aircraft components will be an effective analysis method in the decision-making process of aircraft optimum configuration.
