Finite Time Convergence Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion-Based Attitude Control for Flying—Wing Aircraft with Actuator Faults

Finite-time fault tolerant attitude control for over-activated spacecraft subject to actuator misalignment and faults

A finite-time attitude compensation control scheme is developed for an over-activated rigid spacecraft subject to actuator faults, misalignment, external disturbances and uncertain inertia parameters. The controller is synthesised based on the sliding mode control theory, and guarantees the finite-time reachability of the system states. A sufficient condition for the controller to accommodate m...

Nonlinear Guidance Law with Finite Time Convergence Considering Control Loop Dynamics

In this paper a new nonlinear guidance law with finite time convergence is proposed. The second order integrated guidance and control loop is formulated considering a first order control loop dynamics. By transforming the state equations to the normal form, a finite time stabilizer feedback linearization technique is proposed to guarantee the finite time convergence of the system states to zero...

Cascaded Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Control for MAV Disturbance Rejection

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are limited in their operation outdoors near obstacles by their ability to withstand wind gusts. Currently widespread position control methods such as Proportional Integral Derivative control do not perform well under the influence of gusts. Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) is a sensor-based control technique that can control nonlinear systems subject ...

Second Order Sliding Mode Control With Finite Time Convergence

In this paper, a new smooth second order sliding mode control is proposed. This algorithm is a modified form of Super Twisting algorithm. The Super Twisting guarantees the asymptotic stability, but the finite time stability of proposed method is proved with introducing a new particular Lyapunov function. The Proposed algorithm which is able to control nonlinear systems with matched structured u...
