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.

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.

50th Anniversary Article: Seeing Stresses through the Thermoelastic Lens—A Retrospective and Prospective from an Australian Viewpoint

Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) has been around for the past 30 years, but to date, it is still a very much underrated and under‐utilised experimental technique. Although there are devoted groups of practitioners in some industries, this technology is not well known within the aerospace sector. In contrast, the Aerospace Division of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) in Australia has been in the forefront of this technology for some time, achieving many pioneering feats. This paper gives a brief introduction to the development of this technology from a historical perspective, then focuses on a number of innovations that have stemmed from DSTO, including the development and application of the world's first focal plane array based TSA system and, more recently, the development of small and robust microbolometer based systems. For the latter, it is shown that despite nominally poorer temperature sensitivities, they make ideal TSA devices and can in some cases outperform their much more expensive photon detector counterparts. Because of this, together with the enormous practical advantages of microbolometers, the future of TSA is shown to be brighter than ever. Specifically, it is argued that such TSA systems can play a major role in the pervasive and persistent surveillance of full scale fatigue testing of aircraft structures. By detecting both design and developing faults early, it can effectively relieve cost and schedule penalties that are often associated with unanticipated failures. To realise this capability, integration of this technology with autonomous systems will be important, and some preliminary but promising results from a technology demonstrator program are presented.     

载机偏航运动对大视场红外扫描装置成像质量影响的仿真分析

某航空大视场红外扫描装置采用TDI-CCD 探测器、以整机摆扫工作方式扫描成像,由于扫描装置为滚动-俯仰结构的两轴稳定平台,对偏航扰动没有稳定作用,其成像质量易受载机偏航运动的影响.通过运动学分析方法建立扫描装置的视轴运动方程及视轴旋转约束条件,得出不影响成像质量的载机偏航运动范围.在载机实际飞行数据输入条件下进行仿真验证,当载机直线飞行时,其偏航运动不影响成像质量.飞行试验验证表明:摆扫扫描图像清晰,航空大视场扫描装置具有良好的载机偏航运动适应性.
