First, the components of translational motion dynamics perpendicular to the velocity are derived, and then a guidance law based on a time-varying sliding mode method is used to realize trajectory tracking. Furthermore, the rotational equations of motion are separated into an actuated subsystem and an unactuated subsystem. And an adaptive time-varying sliding mode attitude controller is proposed based on the actuated subsystem to track the command attitude and the tracking performance and robustness are therefore enhanced. The proposed guidance law and attitude controller make the hypersonic vehicle fly along the reference trajectory even when the aileron is stuck at an unknown angle. Finally, a hypersonic benchmark platform is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.展开更多

The first step is to determine the depth at which the sticking has occurred. Methods of measurement have been proved useful for determining the stuck points, but these operations take considerable time. As a result of the limitation with the current operational practices, calculation methods are still preferred to estimate the stuck point depth. Current analytical methods do not consider friction and are only valid for vertical rather than extended reach wells. The numerical method is established to take full account of down hole friction, tool joint, upset end of drill pipe, combination drill strings and tubular materials so that it is valid to determine the stuck point in extended reach wells. The pull test, torsion test and combined test of rotation and pulling can be used to determine the stuck point. The results show that down hole friction, tool joint, upset end of drill pipe, tubular sizes and materials have significant effects on the pull length and/or the twist angle of the stuck drill string.展开更多

The principle of the proposed FTC scheme is to design an integral-type sliding mode attitude controller using on-line parameter adaptive updating law to compensate for the effects of stuck actuators. This adaptive law also provides both the estimates of the system parameters and external disturbances such that a prior knowledge of the spacecraft inertia or boundedness of disturbances is not required. Moreover, by including the integral feedback term, the designed controller can not only tolerate actuator stuck faults, but also compensate the disturbances with constant components. For the synthesis of controller, the fault time, patterns and values are unknown in advance, as motivated from a practical spacecraft control application. Complete stability and performance analysis are presented and illustrative simulation results of application to a spacecraft show that high precise attitude control with zero steady-error is successfully achieved using various scenarios of stuck failures in actuators.展开更多
