Fault-tolerant pitch-rate control augmentation system design for asymmetric elevator failures in a combat plane

İlkay Gümüşboğa, Altuğ İftar (2020)

Kybernetika

Combat planes are designed in a structured relaxed static stability to meet maneuver requirements. These planes are unstable in the longitudinal axis and require continuous active control systems with elevator control. Therefore, failures in the elevator can have vital consequences for flight safety. In this work, the performance of classical control approach against asymmetric elevator failures is investigated and it is shown that this approach is insufficient in the case of such a failure. Then,...

Feedback linearization idle-speed control: design and experiments

Rolf Pfiffner, Lino Guzzella (1999)

Kybernetika

This paper proposes a novel nonlinear control algorithm for idle-speed control of a gasoline engine. This controller is based on the feedback linearization approach and extends this technique to the special structure and specifications of the idle-speed problem. Special static precompensations and cascaded loops are used to achieve the desired bandwidth separation between the fast spark and slow air-bypass action. A key element is the inclusion of the (engine-speed dependent) induction to power...

Fopid Controller Design for Robust Performance Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Zamani, Majid, Karimi-Ghartemani, Masoud, Sadati, Nasser (2007)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33; 93C15, 93C55, 93B36, 93B35, 93B51; 03B42; 70Q05; 49N05This paper proposes a novel method to design an H∞ -optimal fractional order PID (FOPID) controller with ability to control the transient, steady-state response and stability margins characteristics. The method uses particle swarm optimization algorithm and operates based on minimizing a general cost function. Minimization of the cost function is carried out subject to the H∞ -norm; this norm is also...

Fuzzy logic gain scheduling for non-linear servo tracking

Mieczysław Brdyś, Jonathan Littler (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper proposes the use of gain scheduling as a method of controlling a servo system with hard non-linear elements. The servo controls two elements of a tracker mounted on a ship at sea. There is stiction at the zero velocity point and non-linear friction against the motion of each tracker axis. A dual feedback loop control structure is employed. Fuzzy logic is used to provide smoothly varying non-linear scheduling functions to map the velocity of the servo relevant to the deck of the ship onto...
