基于特征模型的高超声速飞行器自适应控制研究进展

钱学森先生1945年在论文《论高超声速相似律》中,首次提出了高超声速(hypersonic)的术语.高超声速飞行器具有的强大的军事和民事应用前景,20世纪80年代初,在世界上掀起了研究和发展高超声速飞行器的热潮,其中高超声速飞行器控制是其关键科学和技术问题之一.高超声速飞行器的研究取得了大量理论成果,与其形成鲜明对比的是,高超声速飞行器在试飞实验中却遇到了很大困难,例如X–51A,HTV–2.这种现象不得不引发我们进行深入思考.由于高超声速空气动力学研究的局限性,导致目前所建立的高超声速飞行器的动力学模型,与真实系统相比,其结构和参数不确定性非常大,它从根本上限制了控制理论和方法的研究.并且由于高超声速飞行器动力学模型的复杂性,导致目前工程应用中的控制方法复杂化.因此,针对高超声速飞行器控制问题,需要深入开展气动、控制交叉学科的研究,以及适于工程应用的自适应控制的研究.针对上述问题,我们开展了一定的研究.我们建立了三轴耦合的高超声速飞行器被控对象类X–20及其气动模型,并结合工程应用,直接针对表格形式的气动模型开展控制研究.针对强耦合和无解析动力学的控制问题,特征模型理论有其独特优势.近年来,我们系统研究了基于特征模型的高超声速飞行器的爬升、滑翔和再入控制问题.本文首先介绍特征模型理论和方法,进而综述和分析基于特征模型的高超声速飞行器自适应控制的研究进展,并提出进一步需要研究的问题.     

Adaptive control with prescribed tracking performance for hypersonic flight vehicles in the presence of unknown elevator faults

In this paper, an adaptive dynamic surface control scheme is proposed for a class of hypersonic flight vehicles with unknown elevator faults. By estimating the bounds of the fault uncertainties, the effect of the faults is successfully compensated for and each elevator is allowed to change among the healthy case and different faulty cases infinitely many times. The proposed scheme is free of the problem of explosion of complexity and is able to steer tracking errors into predefined arbitrarily small residual sets with prescribed convergence rates and maximum overshoots. Such features result in a simple flight control scheme which can be easily implemented with less computational burden, satisfactory tracking performance and high reliability. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Adaptive diagnosis and compensation for hypersonic flight vehicle with multisensor faults

This study proposes an improved adaptive fault diagnosis and compensation scheme for multisensor faults of hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs). The faults are detected and isolated through a series of sensor output residuals and thresholds that consider observation error and disturbances. Via an adaptive augmented observer, the faults are estimated accurately and a time‐varying disturbance is handled by an additional differential part. Sensor faults are compensated on the basis of estimation results, and disturbances are considered in the fault‐tolerant control (FTC) design, thereby improving the tracking accuracy of the altitude and velocity and robustness with respect to external disturbances for HFVs. The stability of diagnosis and FTC is analyzed by Lyapunov theory. Numerical simulation results explain the validity of the proposed diagnosis and compensation methods.     

Sliding mode learning control for T-S fuzzy system and an application to hypersonic flight vehicle

Sliding mode-based learning control is presented for T-S fuzzy system. A T-S fuzzy model with both uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics is proposed firstly, in which the information of uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics are assumed to be unknown. Then, according to a given reference model, state-tracking error system is built. Respecting facts, the input matrices of the built T-S fuzzy model are different from each other. An extended state observer is built for estimating the unknown uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics, and a corresponding sliding surface is proposed. A learning controller is then presented for the closed loop system. Moreover, a numerical simulation result on hypersonic flight vehicles is considered to testify the controller's availability.     

基于气动舵面和RCS融合控制的高超声速飞行器再入姿态容错控制

针对高超声速飞行器再入姿态模型,研究气动舵面故障时的再入姿态容错控制.根据高超声速飞行器再入初期的特点,通常需要反作用控制系统(Reaction Control Systems,RCS)协助气动舵面完成姿态控制.采用Backstepping方法获得期望力矩,将气动舵面视为首要执行机构,在气动舵面之间控制分配期望的力矩.如果气动舵面不能达到期望力矩,则开启RCS,由RCS提供气动舵面不能提供的力矩.考虑舵面发生部分失效和卡死故障情况,设计基于控制分配算法的容错控制策略,使得系统在故障情况下仍旧保持稳定并恢复追踪性能.     

Composite predictive flight control for airbreathing hypersonic vehicles

The robust optimised tracking control problem for a generic airbreathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV) subject to nonvanishing mismatched disturbances/uncertainties is investigated in this paper. A baseline nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) method is firstly introduced for optimised tracking control of the nominal dynamics. A nonlinear-disturbance-observer-based control law is then developed for robustness enhancement in the presence of both external disturbances and uncertainties. Compared with the existing robust tracking control methods for AHVs, the proposed composite nonlinear MPC method obtains not only promising robustness and disturbance rejection performance but also optimised nominal tracking control performance. The merits of the proposed method are validated by implementing simulation studies on the AHV system.

Adaptive fault-tolerant control for a class of flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicles

In this paper, a novel adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme is proposed for a class of flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicles with unknown inertial and aerodynamic parameters and even input constraints. The fault model under consideration covers the case that all actuators suffer from unknown time-varying faults. In the controller design and stability analysis, we introduce new Lyapunov functions, some differentiable auxiliary functions, a bound estimation approach, and a Nussbaum function, which help us successfully circumvent the obstacle caused by the faults, input constraints, and flexible modes. In addition to higher reliability, the proposed scheme is able to ensure that all closed-loop signals are globally uniformly bounded and to steer the tracking errors of altitude and velocity into predefined arbitrarily small residual sets. As a result, the tracking accuracy can be designated in advance. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Output feedback control of hypersonic vehicles based on neural network and high gain observer

Cooperative actuator fault accommodation in formation flight of unmanned vehicles using relative measurements

In this article, the cooperative fault accommodation in formation flight of unmanned vehicles is investigated through a hierarchical framework. Three levels are envisaged, namely a low-level fault recovery (LLFR), a formation-level fault recovery (FLFR) and a high-level (HL). In the LLFR module, a recovery controller is designed by using an estimate of the actuator fault. A performance monitoring module is introduced at the HL hierarchy to identify a partially low-level (LL) recovered vehicle due to inaccuracy in the fault estimate which results in violating the error specification of the formation mission. The HL supervisor then activates the FLFR module to compensate for the performance degradations of the partially LL recovered vehicle at the expense of the other healthy vehicles. Both centralised and decentralised control approaches are developed for our proposed cooperative fault recovery technique. A robust H _∞ controller is designed in which the parameters of the controller are adjusted to accommodate for the partially LL-recovered vehicle by enforcing that the other healthy vehicles allocate more control effort to compensate for the performance degradations of the faulty vehicle. Numerical simulations for a formation flight of five satellites are provided in the deep space, which do indeed confirm the validity and effectiveness of our proposed analytical work.

Integrated observer based fault estimation for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems

The fault estimation for a class of nonlinear systems with Lipschitzian nonlinearities and faults is studied in this article. An integrated estimation observer that covers the robust estimation observer (REO) and adaptive estimation observer (AEO) is proposed to improve the accuracy of fault estimation. Compared with the traditional AEO, the designed observer does not involve the output derivatives and can be more suitable for practical applications. Furthermore, based on the designed observer, the coupling term emerging in the obtained error dynamics can be eliminated reasonably and less conservative stability conditions for the error dynamics can be obtained, whereas the case is hard to be achieved based on the existing intermediate estimator approach in the literature. Compared with the traditional REO and AEO, the fault can be estimated with a good accuracy by using the proposed integrated estimation observer. Numerical examples test the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.

Improved adaptive fault‐tolerant control design for hypersonic vehicle based on interval type‐2 T‐S model

This study proposes an improved adaptive fault estimation and accommodation algorithm for a hypersonic flight vehicle that uses an interval type‐2 Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy model and a quantum switching module. First, an interval type‐2 Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy model for the hypersonic flight vehicle system with elevator faults is developed to process the nonlinearity and parameter uncertainties. An improved adaptive fault estimation algorithm is then constructed by adding an adjustable parameter. The quantum switching module is also applied to the estimation part to select an appropriate algorithm in different fault cases. The estimation results from the given fuzzy observer are used to design a type‐2 fuzzy fault accommodation controller to stabilize the fuzzy system. The stability of the proposed scheme is analyzed using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the validity and availability of the method are verified by a series of comparisons on numerical simulation results.
