This paper investigates the robustness of direct adaptivecontrol schemes and relates the stability margins to aircraft dynamics. It also formulates a method to augment the handling qualities of an aircraft by using an ideal referencemodel that the aircraft can track. The aircraft equations of motions are solved and a mathematical transformation is derived to convert the system into normal form where the transmission zeros of the system are analyzed. This analysis provides insight into the effect of aircraft stability coefficients on the stability of the adaptivecontrol scheme. This stability margin is then used to augment modes of the aircraft that do not satisfy the Cooper-Harper handling qualities by using a referencemodel to be tracked by the adaptive system while still satisfying the stability criteria for the adaptivecontroller.

This paper presents a preliminary development on a guidance algorithm capable of landing a fixed-wing UAV on a moving platform. The problem has not been investigated thoroughly by the community where almost all of related works are applications of either helicopters or multirotors. The problem is challenging because it demands position, velocity, and attitude to be matched simultaneously at touchdown. We formulate the problem as a minimum time optimal control problem and solve it using the pseudospectral optimal control method. We found that direct-lift control is a key element to successfully match position, velocity, and attitude simultaneously at touchdown. Our approach can handle steady wind and can also handle mildly maneuvering platform scenario. The algorithm is tested with various initial conditions and also tested in a receding horizon manner. The method is too slow to run in real-time. However, it reveals many challenges unique to this problem that must be overcome in future research.

Occupation measures and linear matrix inequality (LMI) relaxations (called the moment sums of squares or Lasserre hierarchy) have been used previously as a means for solving control law verification and validation (VV) problems. However, these methods have been restricted to relatively simple control laws and a limited number of states. In this document, we extend these methods to model reference adaptive control (MRAC) configurations typical of the aircraft industry. The main contribution is a validation scheme that exploits the specific nonlinearities and structure of MRAC. A nonlinear F-16 plant is used for illustration. LMI relaxations solved by off-the-shelf-software are compared to traditional Monte-Carlo simulations.

The speed control is a loop of much significance in engine-dynamometer test bench. To solve problems resulting from traditional PID in present industry, such as a long tuning period of controller parameters and degraded dynamical speed control performance after a change of bench configuration or parameters, a new control method based on disturbance compensation and model reference adaptive control was proposed. Extended state observer was used to estimate and compensate the uncertainties and disturbance both inside and outside the system, and feedback control law was updated based on Lyapunov function, with control parameters identified online by recursive least square. The simulation results show that the proposed control method can improve speed control precision in the engine-dynamometer system. Furthermore, the calibrating effort in control parameters can be sharply reduced. (C) 2019, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Occupation measures and linear matrix inequality (LMI) relaxations (called the moment sums of squares or Lasserre hierarchy) are state-of-the-art methods for verification and validation (VV) in aerospace. In this document, we extend these results to a full F-16 closed-loop nonlinear dutch roll polynomial model complete with model reference adaptive control (MRAC). This is done through a new technique of approximating the reference trajectory by exploiting sparse ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with parsimony. The VV problem is then solved directly using moment LMI relaxations and off-the-shelf-software. The main results are then compared to their numerical counterparts obtained using traditional Monte-Carlo simulations.

This thesis focuses on model reference adaptive control (MRAC) and its application to a tilt-rotor quadcopter. After formulating two standard MRAC approaches, this thesis proposes a robust model reference adaptive control law that guarantees satisfactory trajectory following for the nonlinear dynamical system despite parametric, matched, and unmatched uncertainties. This control law is unique for its ability to exploit barrier Lyapunov functions and guarantee user-defined constraints both on the trajectory tracking error and the adaptive gains at all time. The proposed robust control law is then applied to design a control law for a tilt-rotor quadcopter with H-configuration with unknown and unsteady center of mass and matrix of inertia due to the presence of poorly modeled and dangling payloads. The tilt-rotor quadcopter equations of motion are presented and thoroughly analyzed. A novel approach is proposed to model the coupling between the translational and rotational dynamics as matched uncertainties, and a control strategy is developed to overcome the vehicle's underactuation. A tilt-rotor is designed and all of the components are presented and discussed. A challenging experiment where a tilt-rotor quadcopter pulls an unknown cart is performed and the results show the applicability of the proposed theoretical framework.
An adaptivecontrol system with good following characteristics is designed for the electro-hydraulic servo system which is seriously nonlinear. The model of position servo system on flexible nozzle is discussed with t...
