The relative models with saturation nonlinearity are established based on ClohesseyWiltshire equation. Considering the advantages of the recently developed parametric Lyapunov equation-based low gain feedback design method and an existing high gain scheduling technique, a new robust gain scheduling controller is proposed to solve the robust global stabilization problem. To apply the proposed gain scheduling approaches, only a scalar nonlinear equation is required to be solved.Different from the controller design, simulations have been carried out directly on the nonlinear model of the spacecraft rendezvous operation instead of a linearized one. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown.展开更多

In order to eliminate the artificial uncertainties that the traditional "trial and error" de- sign process introduces into system, a method to design target loop based on pole assignment is proposed, which provides an explicit algorithm to construct the matrix differential Riccati equation (MDRE) based on the expected poles determined by the performance specifications. Meanwhile, it is proved that by introducing integrators to augment plant dynamics the fast modes of LQG/LTR gain scheduling controller can be restrained effectively, which alleviates an obstacle for the engineering application of LQG/LTR gain scheduling technique. The proposed method is applied in the design of LQG/LTR gain scheduling autopilot for a surface-to-air missile. The design and simulation results indicate that the fast modes of controller are eliminated obviously, and that the dynamic characteristics of autopilot are stable when flight Mach number and altitude vary.展开更多

A nonlinear dynamic inversion controller is used for supermaneuver. A gain scheduled controller is used for routine maneuver. A switch algorithm is designed to switch the controllers. The flight envelopes of the controllers are different but have a common area in which the controllers are switched from one to the other. In the common area, some special boundaries are selected to decide switch conditions. The controllers all use vector thrust for lower velocity maneuver control. Unlike the variation structure theory to use a single boundary, this paper uses two boundaries for switching between the two controllers. One boundary is used for switching from dynamic inversion to gain scheduling, while the other is used for switching from gain scheduling to dynamic inversion. This can effectively avoid the system vibration caused by switching repeatedly at a single boundary. The method is very easy for engineering. It can reduce the risk of design of the supermaneuverable aircraft.展开更多

A Gain Scheduling Controller(GSC) is designed for the transient state control and its stability proof is developed using Linear Matrix Inequalities(LMIs). The SCG is an add-on control scheme which manages engine limits effectively based on reference trajectory optimization. Unlike the traditional min–max architecture with switching logic, the SCG method utilizes the Linear Parameter Varying(LPV) closed-loop model to form a prediction of future constraint violation and per instant solves a constraint-admissible reference within an approximate Maximal Output Admissible Set(MOAS).The influence of the variation of engine dynamic characteristics and equilibrium points during transient state control is handled by the design of contractive sets. Simulation results on a turbofan engine component-level model show the applicability and effectiveness of the SCG method. Compared to the traditional min–max method, the SCG method has less conservativeness. In addition,the design of contractive sets makes conservativeness tunable.展开更多

First, the stochastic time-varying neutral systems are described by a series of stochastic time-constant systems at some selected time points, then based on stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a new globally exponentially stochastically stabilizable criterion is derived for each of the jumping system by means of linear matrix inequalities. Subsequently, L- two-L-infinity filtering systems are designed for such linear jump systems. Finally; continuous gain-scheduled approach is employed to design time-varying filter systems for the whole working region. A simulation example shows the effectiveness and potential of the developed techniques.展开更多
