Improved optimal steering law for SGCMG and adaptive attitude control of flexible spacecraft

The issue of attitude maneuver of a flexible spacecraft is investigated with single gimbaled control moment gyroscopes （SGCMGs） as an actuator. To solve the inertia uncertainty of the system, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is designed by applying a radial basis function （RBF） neural network. An improved steering law for SGCMGs is proposed to achieve the optimal out- put torque. It enables the SGCMGs not only to avoid singularity, but also to output more precise torque. In addition, global, uniform, ultimate bounded stability of the attitude control system is proved via the Lyapunov technique. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new steering law and the algorithm of attitude maneuver of the flexible spacecraft.

Investigation on attitude disturbance control and vibration suppression for fuel-fille flexibl spacecraft

This paper is mainly focused on the attitude dynamics and control of a fuel-filled flexible spacecraft sub- jected to the thermal payload during eclipse transitions. The flexible appendages are considered as Euler-Bernoulli beams, and the sloshing liquid is modeled as in two modes multi-spring-mass models; the governing equations of this coupled system are developed by using Hamilton＇s prin- ciple. Numerical results show that the spacecraft attitude responses consist of a quasi-static displacement and superim- posed vibration. Then, we design an adaptive sliding mode and use the Lyapunov approach control law to control the attitude disturbance and suppress the thermal jitter and liq- uid sloshing for the fuel filled flexible spacecraft subject to the thermal payload. Numerical results are presented to verify the efficiency of the hybrid control methods. The results show that the adaptive sliding mode method might be effective to handle the steady-state errors and the Lyapunov control algo- rithm would suppress the residual vibration.

一种变鲁棒系数的SGCMGs伪逆操纵律

针对五棱锥单框架控制力矩陀螺群(Single gimbaled control moment gyroscopes,SGCMGs)中存在的奇异问题,建立五棱锥构型SGCMGs系统动力学模型,基于双曲正弦函数和分段函数设计鲁棒系数,改进鲁棒伪逆操纵律,使SGCMGs系统在处于奇异状态时,保证框架角速度不为零,从而逃离奇异;在接近奇异状态时迅速避开奇异,在远离奇异状态时更精确地输出期望力矩。通过SGCMGs不同类型力矩输出和挠性航天器大角度姿态机动控制的仿真结果表明,所提SGCMGs操纵律既能够较好地规避奇异状态,又能在远离奇异时精确地输出期望力矩。

参数不确定SGCMG系统的自适应操纵律设计

在单框架控制力矩陀螺(SGCMG)系统操纵律的设计中,如果考虑框架伺服特性,往往假设系统的物理参数是确切已知的.为消除参数的不确定性对操纵性能的影响,设计了一种自适应操纵律.该操纵律可对系统物理参数进行在线估计,并能根据航天器姿态控制给出的角动量(或力矩)指令,直接计算出每个框架驱动系统所需的控制力矩.由于操纵律没有算法奇异,在SGCMG系统不出现运动奇异的情况下,可使操纵误差渐近收敛至零.同时,该操纵律对系统参数变化具有良好的适应性,且形式简单,易于实现.对应用在航天器上的某SGCMG系统的仿真结果表明,上述操纵律是可行的.

转动惯量存在不确定性的挠性航天器动态自适应滑模姿态控制

针对存在转动惯量不确定性和外部干扰的挠性航天器,首先构造了一个部分状态观测器估计挠性模态,然后设计自适应律对转动惯量不确定性和外部干扰组成的函数的上界进行估计。最后,在设计的观测器和自适应律的基础上,建立了挠性航天器的基于部分状态观测器的自适应滑模姿态稳定控制律。采用Lyapunov方法证明了在挠性航天器存在转动惯量不确定性和外部干扰时,所设计的自适应滑模姿态控制律能使闭环航天器姿态系统稳定。最后,通过数值仿真例子验证了所提出方法的有效性。
