Dynamics modeling and pressure control of composites tape winding system based on LQSMC

Pressure fluctuations during the composite fiber winding process seriously affect the product's compactness strength, fatigue resistance, stress uniformity, and resin content. The accuracy of pressure control systems is affected by nonlinear disturbances, such as friction, parameter perturbation, and measurement noise. A robust control algorithm based on linear quadratic optimal control and sliding mode control (LQSMC) is proposed to overcome these problems. The method is based on the system state space expression and linear quadratic optimal control. The state space model of the system is improved by using a Kalman filter and control input for state estimation, and a new sliding surface equation is defined. The ameliorated control algorithm exhibits good performance and can effectively suppress sliding mode control (SMC) chattering. Simulation and experimental results show that LQSMC offers high control precision, much stronger anti-interference, and robustness, which can effectively improve the positioning and tracking accuracy of a pressure control system compared with linear quadratic optimal control (LQC). The winding pressure control precision is improved by 45% to 50%. The results show that the porosity of composite fiber tape winding products decreased thanks to our method.
