High performance two degrees of freedom attitude control for solar sails

The purpose of this paper is to present a high performance solar sail attitude controller which uses ballast masses moving inside the sail’s booms as actuators and to demonstrate its ability of performing time efficient reorientation maneuvers. The proposed controller consists of a combination of a feedforward and a feedback controller, which takes advantage of the feedforward’s fast response and the feedback’s ability of responding to unpredicted disturbances. The feedforward controller considers the attitude dynamics of the sailcraft as well as the disturbance torque due to the center of pressure offset to the center of mass of the sailcraft. Additional disturbance torques, like those coming from the environment or from asymmetry of the spacecraft structure, are then handled by the feedback controller. Simulation performance results are finally compared against results available in the literature.     

Postcapture stabilization of space robots considering actuator failures with bounded torques

Space robotics is regarded as one of the most impressing approaches for space debris removal missions. Due to the residual momentum of debris, it is essential to stabilize the base rapidly after capture. This paper presents a novel control strategy for stabilization of a space robot in postcapture considering actuator failures and bounded torques. In the control strategy, the motion of the manipulator is not regarded as a disturbance to the base; in contrast, it is utilized to compensate for the limitation of the control torques by means of an inverse dynamical model of the system. Different scenarios where actuators are external mechanisms or momentum exchange devices have been carried out, and for actuator failures, both single- and two-actuator failures have been considered. Regarding to the performance of actuators, control torques are bounded. In cases that either single or two actuators have failed, the base can be stabilized kinematically when actuators are external mechanisms, but can only be stabilized dynamically when only momentum exchange devices are used. Finally, a space robot with a seven-degree-of-freedom manipulator in postcapture is studied to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed control scheme. Simulation results show that the whole system can be stabilized rapidly.     

Multi-station observation of ionospheric disturbance of March 9 2012 and comparison with IRI-model

The magnetic storm of 9 March 2012 is a single step intense storm (Dst = −143 nT) whose main phase begins around 0100 UT and lasted for almost 11 h. The increases in NmF2 recorded 33% and 67% incidence respectively during the main and the recovery phase of the storm at the stations considered. The increase in hmF2 occurred concurrently with the increase in thickness parameter B0 between 0000 and 1100 UT, and a simultaneous decrease in the shape parameter B1 for the entire mid-latitude stations. Generally, B1 responded to the storm with a decrease away from the quiet day average, and decreased simultaneously with the increase in NmF2. B0 displays higher variability magnitude during daytime than the nighttime period. The occasional differences in the response of the ionospheric parameters to the storm event are attributed to longitudinal differences. Variation in hmF2 and NmF2 is projected to change in B1, but the rationale behind this effect on B1 is still not known and therefore left open. The two IRI options over-estimate the observed values with that of URSI higher than CCIR. The over-estimation was higher during the nighttime than the daytime for NmF2 response for the mid-latitude stations and the reverse for the equatorial station. A fairer fit of the model with the observed for all parameters over Jicamarca suggests that equatorial regions are better represented on the model. Extensive study of B1 and B0 is recommended to arrive at a better performance of IRI.

Robust control for an unmanned helicopter with constrained flapping dynamics

In this paper, a neural network based adaptive prescribed performance control scheme is proposed for the altitude and attitude tracking system of the unmanned helicopter in the presence of state and output constraints. For handling the state constraints, the barrier Lyapunov function and the saturation function are employed. And, the prescribed performance method is used to deal with the flapping angle constraints for the unmanned helicopter. It is proved that the proposed control approach can ensure that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded, and the tracking errors are within the prescribed performance bounds for all time. The numerical simulation is given to illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme.     

A scalable bus-based attitude control system for Solar Sails

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in Solar Sails as an alternative means of space propulsion. Many different attitude control systems have been designed for Solar Sails taking advantage of the centre-of-mass (CM)/centre-of-pressure (CP) offset while utilising the main sail structure to position the actuators. However, by attaching actuators to the main sail, these systems increase the risks involved in the deployment subsystem.     

新型三阶TVD限制器性能分析

在计算流体力学(CFD)方法中,限制技术是影响计算精度和计算稳定性的重要因素,目前应用较广的经典二阶总变差衰减(TVD)限制器虽能较好地满足计算要求,但性能差异大且分辨率和耗散的性能间并未得到良好权衡。对一种新型的三阶TVD插值限制器(T-3限制器)进行了研究并将其与3种经典限制器进行对比。首先通过一维黎曼问题,得出T-3限制器兼顾较高间断分辨率和良好稳定性的特点;接着通过高超声速双锥绕流和X-33外形飞行器的数值实验,得到T-3限制器具有刻画复杂流动的能力以及较优的气动热计算性能。

回转体类零件四自由度姿态调整解耦问题的研究

为减小测量误差，对高准确度回转体类零件的形位误差测量必须进行姿态调整，即四自由度α－β（倾角）、ｘ－ｙ（偏心）调整，当各调整功能之间存在“耦合”影响时，使得调整费时甚至调不出预定的定位准确度。为此，提出解决调整功能之间耦合问题的方法和模型，较系统地解决了这一问题。     

抗垂风干扰直接升力控制系统设计

一、引言 在垂风干扰作用下,常规飞机往往不能保持航迹角不变,从而使得航迹变化越来越大,这在很多情况下是不符合飞机飞行要求的。而直接升力控制系统,由于实现了对应状态的解耦,在垂风干扰作用下,则可以基本保持航迹角不变。如果采用抗干扰调节器设计方法设计直接升力控制系统,则可以始终保持航迹角为0,从而保证航迹不变。本文以某型飞机为背景讨论了上述问题。采用离散域直接设计。
