To enhance the disturbance rejection ability of the robust flight control for fighters, the sliding mode disturbance observer is designed to estimate the compounded disturbance including the unknown external disturbance and the effect of the control input saturation. Based on the backstepping technique and the compounded disturbance estimated output, the robust bounded flight control scheme is proposed for the fighter with the unknown external disturbance and the control input saturation. The closed-loop system stability under the developed robust bounded flight control scheme is rigorously proved using the Lyapunov method and the uniformly asymptotical convergences of all closed-loop signals are guaranteed. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed robust bounded flight control scheme for the uncertain longitudinal flight dynamics of the fighter.展开更多

The Duhem hysteretic force is transformed to energy-depending damping and stiffness by the energy dissipation balance technique. The controlled system is transformed to the equivalent non- hysteretic system. Stochastic averaging is then implemented to obtain the It5 stochastic equation associated with the total energy of the vibrating system, appropriate for eval- uating system responses. Dynamical programming equations for maximizing system re- liability are formulated by the dynamical programming principle. The optimal bounded control is derived from the maximization condition in the dynamical programming equation. Finally, the conditional reliability function and mean time of first-passage failure of the optimal Duhem systems are numerically solved from the Kolmogorov equations. The proposed procedure is illustrated with a representative example.展开更多

A nonlinear feedback law consisting of nested saturation functions is proposed. This type of nonlinear feedback law that is a modification and generalization of the result given in [1] needs only [（n ＋ 1）/2] （n is the dimensions of the system） saturation elements, which is fewer than that which the other nonlinear laws need. Furthermore, the poles of the closedloop system can be placed on any location on the left real axis when none of the saturation elements in the control laws is saturated. This type of nonlinear control law exhibits a simpler structure and can significantly improve the transient performances of the closed-loop system, and is very superior to the other existing methods. Simulation on a fourth-order system is used to validate the proposed method.展开更多

A nested type saturation control law is proposed which is a generalization of the existing results reported in the literature. The primary characteristic of this modified control law is that more design parameters, which are the closed-loop eigenvalues when the system is operating in linear form, are introduced and which can be well designed to achieve better system performance. Using this law, the pole locations of the closed-loop systems depending on a linear trans- formation can be placed arbitrarily within certain areas. Numerical example shows that the performance of the closed-loop system under this control law can be significantly improved if the free parameters are properly chosen.展开更多

In this paper, the MRF damper-based semi-active control system is applied to a long-span spatially extended structure and its feasibility is discussed. Meanwhile, a _trust-region method based instantaneous optimal semi-active control algorithm （TIOC） is proposed to improve the performance of the semi-active control system in a multiple damper situation. The proposed TIOC describes the control process as a bounded constraint optimization problem, in which an optimal semi- active control force vector is solved by the trust-region method in every control step to minimize the structural responses. A numerical example of a railway station roof structure installed with MRF-04K dampers is presented. First, a modified Bouc- Wen model is utilized to describe the behavior of the selected MRF-04K damper. Then, two semi-active control systems, including the well-known clipped-optimal controller and the proposed TIOC controller, are considered. Based on the characteristics of the long-span spatially extended structure, the performance of the control system is evaluated under uniform earthquake excitation and travelling-wave excitation with different apparent velocities. The simulation results indicate that the MR fluid damper-based semi-active control systems have the potential to mitigate the responses of full-scale long-span spatially extended structures under earthquake hazards. The superiority of the proposed TIOC controller is demonstrated by comparing its control effectiveness with the clipped-optimal controller for several different cases.展开更多

The nonlinear function is considered to satisfy conic-type constraint condition. A novel finite-time boundedness(FTB) based sliding mode controller design theory is proposed. And then a sufficient condition is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), which guarantees the resulted sliding mode dynamics to be FTB wrt some predefined scalars. Thereafter, a FTB-based sliding mode control(SMC) law is synthesized to ensure the state of the controlled system is driven into a novel desired switching surface s(t) = c(c is a constant) in a finite time. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed FTB-based SMC design theory.展开更多

All uncertainties are assumed to be bounded by unknown constants. An improved adaptation law is proposed to estimate the square of these unknown bounds. Then, by making use of the updated values of the squared unknown bounds, an adaptive controller is designed to make the solution of the resultant closed-loop system uniformly ultimately bounded. Furthermore, this method avoids chattering and improves the performance. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of this method.展开更多

The sufficient and necessary condition for bounds of decreasing rate of a time-varying linear system to be assigned arbitrarily is presented. It is pointed out that for any given real number m, M, m<M, there exists a linear state feedback with time-varying gain matrix which makes the corresponding closed-loop system possess M and m as its upper bound and lower bound of the decreasing rate respectively. For the purposes of its application to system design the concept of the asymptotic assignment of the bounds of decreasing rate is also proposed. The method dealing with the asymptotic assignment is given too.展开更多

The RBFNN is introduced to approximate the complex nonlinear function involving uncertainties and external unknown disturbances, and meanwhile a new robust term is constructed to further estimate the system residual error,which removes the requirement of knowing the upper bound of the disturbances and uncertainty terms. The stability analysis of the power system is presented based on the Lyapunov function,which can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness(UUB) of all parameters and states of the whole closed-loop system. A comparison is made between the RBFNN-based robust adaptive control and the general backstepping control in the simulation part to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.展开更多
