Robust finite-time control allocation in spacecraft attitude stabilization under actuator misalignment

A novel combination of finite time control and control allocation with uncertain configuration matrix due to actuator misalignment is investigated for attitude stabilization of a rigid spacecraft. Finite time controller using nonsingular terminal sliding mode technique is firstly designed as virtual control of control allocator to produce the three axis torques, and can guarantee finite time reachability of given attitude motion of spacecraft in the presence of external disturbances. The convergences of this feedback controller for the resulting closed loop systems are also proven theoretically. Then, under the condition of uncertainty included in the configuration matrix due to actuator misalignment, a robust least squares-based control allocation is employed to deal with the problem of distributing the three axis torques over the available actuators under redundancy, in which the focus of this control allocation is to find the optimal control vector of actuator by minimizing the worst-case residual, under the condition of the uncertainty included in actuator configuration matrix and control constraints like saturation. Simulation results using the orbiting spacecraft model show good performance under external disturbances and even uncertain configuration matrix, which validates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme.     

STOCHASTIC OPTIMAL VIBRATION CONTROL OF PARTIALLY OBSERVABLE NONLINEAR QUASI HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS WITH ACTUATOR SATURATION

An optimal vibration control strategy for partially observable nonlinear quasi Hamiltonian systems with actuator saturation is proposed. First,a controlled partially observable non-linear system is converted into a completely observable linear control system of finite dimension based on the theorem due to Charalambous and Elliott. Then the partially averaged It stochastic differential equations and dynamical programming equation associated with the completely observable linear system are derived by using the stochastic averaging method and stochastic dynamical programming principle,respectively. The optimal control law is obtained from solving the final dynamical programming equation. The results show that the proposed control strategy has high control effectiveness and control effciency.

Free vibration of rectangular plates with continuously distributed spring-mass

The vibratory characteristics of rectangular plates attached with continuously and uniformly distributed spring-mass in a rectangular region are studied which may represent free vibration of a human–structure system. Firstly, the governing differential equations of a plate with uniformly distributed spring-mass are developed. When the spring-mass fully occupies the plate, the natural frequencies of the coupled system are exactly solved and a relationship between the continuous system and a series of discrete two degrees-of-freedom system is provided. The degree of frequency coupling is defined. Then, the Ritz–Galerkin method is used to derive the approximate solution, when the spring-mass is distributed on a part of the plate, by using the Chebyshev polynomial series to construct the admissible functions. Comparative studies demonstrate the high accuracy and wide applicability of the proposed method. Finally, the frequency and modal characteristics of the plate partially occupied by distributed spring-mass are numerically analysed. It has been observed that both the natural frequencies and the modes appear in pairs. Moreover, a parametric study is performed for rectangular plates with three edges simply supported and one edge free. The effects of occupation size and position of the distributed spring-mass on natural frequencies of the coupled system are studied in detailed. The present investigation provides an improved understanding of human–structure interaction, such as grandstands or floors occupied by a stationary crowd.

Optimal bounded control for nonlinear stochastic smart structure systems based on extended Kalman filter

An optimal bounded control strategy for smart structure systems as controlled Hamiltonian systems with random excitations and noised observations is proposed. The basic dynamic equations for a smart structure system with smart sensors and actuators are firstly given. The nonlinear stochastic control system with noised observations is then obtained from the simplified smart structure system, and the system is expressed by generalized Hamiltonian equations with control, random excitation and dissipative forces. The optimal control problem for nonlinear stochastic systems with noised observations includes two parts: optimal state estimation and optimal response control based on estimated states, which are coupled each other. The probability density of optimally estimated systems has generally infinite dimensions based on the separation theorem. The proposed optimal control strategy gives an approximate separate solution. First, the optimally estimated system state is determined by the observations based on the extended Kalman filter, and the estimated nonlinear system with controls and stochastic excitations is obtained which has finite-dimensional probability density. Second, the dynamical programming equation for the estimated system is determined based on the stochastic dynamical programming principle. The control boundedness due to actuator saturation is considered, and the optimal bounded control law is obtained by the programming equation with the bounded control constraint. The optimal control depends on the estimated system state which is determined by noised observations. The proposed optimal bounded control strategy is finally applied to a single-degree-of-freedom nonlinear stochastic system with control and noised observation. The remarkable vibration control effectiveness is illustrated with numerical results. Thus the proposed optimal bounded control strategy is promising for application to nonlinear stochastic smart structure systems with noised observations.

柔性机械臂振动抑制的混合控制

提出柔性机械臂末端振动主动控制的一个混合方法。该方法由整形技术(Inptlt shaping Technique-IST)和压电作动器(PZT)的联合作用对机械臂的振动进行控制。IST作为前馈控制技术通过一个序列脉冲和输入扭矩的卷积来抑制机械臂的残留振动。然而，当IST的脉冲作用时间位置不够准确时，将降低机械臂的定位性能。为了提高柔性机械臂的定位精度，对于因脉冲不精确或建模不准所引起的残留振动，由PZT、进行抑制。作用在PZT上的控制电压由线性二次最优调节器(LQR)确定。动态仿真显示，提出的方法不仅对机械臂的振动抑制具有鲁棒性，而且使得PZT、上的控制电压比单独使用PZT进行振动抑制时降低了50％以上，这是非常有利的。

Assessment of shunted piezoelectric devices for simultaneous noise and vibration reduction: comparison of passive,active and hybrid networks

Structural vibration and noise control of a cavity-backed three-layered smart piezo-coupled rectangular panel system under harmonic or transient loads is achieved by using purely active, passive, and hybrid active/passive piezoelectric shunt networks. Problem formulation is based on the classical lamination plate theory, Maxwell’s equation for piezoelectric materials, linear circuit theory, and wave equation for the enclosed acoustic domain. The orthogonal mode expansions along with the modal coupling theory are employed to obtain the coupled differential equations of the electro-mechanical-acoustic system, which are then put into the convenient state-space form, and subsequently solved numerically in both frequency and time domains. A triple-mode hybrid RLC shunt circuit, in series with an external active voltage source and connected to a single electroded piezoelectric segment, is tuned to the dominant resonance frequencies of the composite structure. The linear quadratic optimal control (LQR) theory is adopted for obtaining the active control gains. The frequency and time domain performances of the passive, active and hybrid multi-modal piezoelectric systems are calculated and discussed in terms of sensor output voltage, local sound pressure, and control effort. It is found that the hybrid control methodology with properly tuned circuit parameters can be an excellent candidate for simultaneous vibration and structure-borne noise control of the cavity-coupled smart panel with decreased control effort. Also, the active control strategy integrated in the hybrid control system is demonstrated to enhance the overall system damping characteristics and improve the control authority at frequencies where the passive shunt network performs weakly. Limiting cases are considered and correctness of the mathematical model is verified by using a commercial finite element software as well as by comparisons with the literature.

A review of development and implementation of an active nonlinear vibration absorber

Summary We present an account of an implementation of an active nonlinear vibration absorber that we have developed. The control technique exploits the saturation phenomenon that is known to occur in quadratically-coupled multi-degree-of-freedom systems subjected to primary excitation and possessing a two-to-one internal resonance. The technique is based on introducing an absorber and coupling it with the structure through a sensor and an actuator, where the feedback and control signals are quadratic. First, we consider the case of controlling the vibrations of a single-degree-of-freedom system. We develop the equations governing the response of the closed-loop system and use the method of multiple scales to obtain an approximate solution. We investigate the performance of the control strategy by studying its steady-state and transient characteristics. Additionally, we compare the performance of the quadratic absorber with that of a linear absorber. Then, we present theoretical and experimental results that demonstrate the versatility of the technique. We design an electronic circuit to emulate the absorber and use a variety of sensors and actuators to implement the active control strategy. First, we use a motor and a potentiometer to control the vibration of a rigid beam. We develop a plant model that includes Coulomb friction and demonstrate that the closed-loop system exhibits the saturation phenomenon. Second, we extend the strategy to multi-degree-of-freedom systems. We use PZT ceramics and strain gages to suppress vibrations of flexible steel beams when subjected to single- and simultaneous two-mode excitations. Third, we employ Terfenol-D, a nonlinear actuator, and accelerometers to control the vibrations of flexible beams. In all instances, the technique is successful in reducing the response amplitude of the structures. Received 3 May 1999; accepted for publication 3 June 1999

A Nonlinear Vibration Absorber for Flexible Structures

An approach for implementing an active nonlinear vibration absorber for flexible structures is presented. The technique exploits the saturation phenomenon exhibited by multidegree-of-freedom systems with quadratic nonlinearities possessing two-to-one autoparametric resonances. The strategy consists of introducing second-order controllers and coupling each of them with the plant through a sensor and an actuator, where both the feedback and control signals are quadratic. Once the structure is forced near its resonances, the oscillatory response is suppressed through the saturation phenomenon. We present theoretical and experimental results of the application of the proposed vibration absorber. The structure consists of a cantilever beam, the feedback signal is generated by a strain gage, and the actuation is achieved through piezoceramic patches. The equations of motion are developed and analyzed through perturbation techniques and numerical simulation. Then, the strategy is tested by assembling the controllers in electronic components and suppressing the vibrations of the first and second modes of two beams.     

绳驱桁架结构伸展臂的主动振动控制

伸展臂由于受到空间温度变化和卫星机动动作的影响,不可避免地会产生振动。在阻尼较低的空间环境中,这种振动衰减较慢,影响伸展臂的正常工作。因此,合适的振动控制方法对于伸展臂的正常工作至关重要。本文采用拉绳作为作动器的空间桁架结构伸展臂,研究其作动绳上铰链串联顺序的优化和模型预测控制律的设计,这两部分内容均考虑了作动绳的单边约束和饱和约束。首先,通过ANSYS软件获取结构的模态信息;然后结合系统可控性原理和遗传算法计算出作动绳上铰链串联最优顺序;最后,在数值仿真中,通过设计的控制率对一个由四个单元组成的桁架结构伸展臂的振动控制过程进行仿真分析。结果表明,提出的作动绳串联铰链的方式能够有效抑制伸展臂的振动。
