Compensated acceleration feedback based active disturbance rejection control for launch vehicles

In this paper, the attitude tracking and load relief control problems against wind disturbances and uncertain aerodynamics as well as the engine thrust of launch vehicles are studied.Firstly, a framework of Compensated Acceleration Feedback based Active Disturbance Rejection Control(CAF-ADRC) is established to achieve both desired attitude tracking and load relief performances. In particular, the total disturbance that includes the effects caused by both aerocoefficient perturbations and disturbances is estimated by constructing an Extended State Observer(ESO) to achieve attitude tracking. Furthermore, combined with the normal acceleration due to the engine thrust, the accelerometer measurement is also compensated to enhance the load relief effect.Secondly, the quantitative analysis of ESO and the entire closed-loop system are studied. It can be concluded that the desired attitude tracking and load relief performances can be achieved simultaneously under the proposed approach. Besides, tuning laws of the proposed approach are systematically given, which are divided into ESO, Proportional Derivative(PD) and Compensated Acceleration Feedback(CAF) modules. Moreover, the performances under CAF-ADRC approach can be better than those under CAF based PD(CAF-PD) approach by tuning load relief gain.Finally, the approach presented is applied to a typical control problem of launch vehicles with wind disturbances and parameter uncertainties.

Palladium-Catalyzed Regioselective Asymmetric Chemodivergent Allylation of Oxazolones with Morita-Baylis-Hillman Adducts

Oxazolones are structural subunits in numerous natural products and designed molecules with substantial pharmacological properties.Here,a palladium-catalyzed chemodivergent regio-and enantioselective allylic alkylation of 4-or 5-substituted oxazol-2(3H)-ones with Morita-Baylis-Hillman(MBH)adducts has been developed using a spiroketal-based diphosphine as the ligand(50 examples).Interestingly,4-substituted oxazol-2(3H)-ones acted as a C-nucleophiles in the reaction to afford a range of chiral 4,5-substituted oxazol-2(3H)-ones in high yields(72-99%)with good to excellent chemo-,regio-,and enantioselectivities(C/N 95:5->99:1,b/l 91:9->99:1,85-98%ee).When a N-nucleophile was used under otherwise identical conditions,5-substituted oxazol-2(3H)-ones delivered a range of chiral 3,5-substituted oxazol-2(3H)-ones in high yields(68-98%)with good regio-and enantioselectivities(b/l 71:29-91:9,66-94%ee).The synthesis can be readily performed on gram scale under fairly low catalyst loadings,and the utility of the protocol was showcased in the facile transformation of the products into more elaborate chiral molecules.
