Fault‐tolerant control using command‐filtered adaptive back‐stepping technique: Application to hypersonic longitudinal flight dynamics

In this paper, the adaptive back‐stepping controller is investigated for a class of strict‐feedback systems using the command filter technique. Adaptive laws are designed for updating the controller parameters when both the plant parameters and actuator‐failure parameters are unknown. Furthermore, the auxiliary dynamics is developed to deal with the input constraints. Closed‐loop stability and asymptotic‐state tracking are ensured. The method is applied to the longitudinal dynamics of a generic hypersonic aircraft in the presence of actuator faults and input constraints. Based on the parameter estimation, the command‐filtered adaptive back‐stepping control is presented. Simulation results on the control‐oriented model show that the proposed approach achieves good tracking performance. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

冲击位置对三明治型复合板材冲击性能的影响分析

釆用高强低伸工业涤纶为原料,加工织造了机织间隔织物,对间隔织物空间进行泡沫填充,面层与树脂进行复合,制成了三明治型复合材料板材。测试了冲击位置不同时复合板材耐冲击性能和冲击前后板材的侧压性能,分析了冲击位置对三明治型复合板材耐冲击性能的影响。结果表明,相同冲击能量作用下,冲击位置不同时,复合板材的表观破坏和冲击后侧压性能均有差异。在间隔织物规格相同的情况下,冲击位置在接结点处的板材表观冲击损伤大,但冲击发生在接结点处的板材受冲击后,所能承受的侧压载荷相对较大。

Adaptive trajectory generation based on real-time estimated parameters for impaired aircraft landing

ABSTRACT

This paper is motivated by a need to address the challenge of securing a safe landing after suffering from inflight impairment. In this paper, a new adaptive generalised model predictive static programming (G-MPSP) is developed to generate a safe emergency landing trajectory for impaired aircraft. Utilising the computationally efficient G-MPSP framework, the proposed algorithm enables adaptation of model parameters based on the prediction errors to ensure reasonable guidance performance. Based on the estimated parameters, a feasible landing trajectory is then generated by the flexible finite-horizon G-MPSP with input constraints. The integrated approach features explicit closed-form solutions for both parameter estimation and trajectory generation. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by simulations in the presence of parameter uncertainties and noises and by comparison studies with the non-adaptive G-MPSP.     

Modeling and control of an airbrake electro‐hydraulic smart actuator

In this paper, an accurate model of an airbrake electro‐hydraulic smart actuator is obtained by physical considerations, and then different control strategies (variable‐gain proportional control, PT₁ control with switching integrator, and second order sub‐optimal sliding mode control) are proposed and analyzed. This application is innovative in the avionic field, and is one of the first attempts to realize a fly‐by‐wire system for airbrakes, oriented to its immediate employment and installation on current aircraft. The project was carried on with the participation of the Italian Ministry of Defense, and was commissioned to MAG, a leading provider of integrated systems and aviation services for aerospace.

An overview of the environmental,economic, and material developments of the solar and wind sources coupled with the energy storage systems

There is a constant growth in energy consumption and consequently energy generation around the world. During the recent decades, renewable energy sources took heed of scientists and policy makers as a remedy for substituting traditional sources. Wind and photovoltaic (PV) are the least reliable sources because of their dependence on wind speed and irradiance and therefore their intermittent nature. Energy storage systems are usually coupled with these sources to increase the reliability of the hybrid system. Environmental effects are one of the biggest concerns associated with the renewable energy sources. This study summarizes the last and most important environmental and economic analysis of a grid‐connected hybrid network consisting of wind turbine, PV panels, and energy storage systems. Focusing on environmental aspects, this paper reviews land efficiency, shaded analysis of wind turbines and PV panels, greenhouse gas emission, wastes of wind turbine and PV panels' components, fossil fuel consumption, wildlife, sensitive ecosystems, health benefits, and so on. A cost analysis of the energy generated by a hybrid system has been discussed. Furthermore, this study reviews the latest technologies for materials that have been used for solar PV manufacturing. This paper can help to make a right decision considering all aspects of installing a hybrid system. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiple intelligences in a MultiAgent System applied to telecontrol

This paper presents a control system, based on artificial intelligence technologies, that implements multiple intelligences. This system aims to support and improve automatic telecontrol of solar power plants, by either automatically triggering actuators or dynamically giving recommendations to human operators. For this purpose, the development of a MultiAgent System is combined with a variety of inference systems, such as Expert Systems, Neural Networks, and Bayesian Networks. This diversity of intelligent technologies is shown to result in an efficient way to mimic the reasoning process in human operators.
