Maneuver Regulation for Accelerating Bodies in Atmospheric Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to address the need for an affordable reduced gravity test platform, this work focuses on the analysis and implementation of atmospheric acceleration tracking with an autonomous aerial vehicle. As proof of concept, the vehicle is designed with the objective of flying accurate reduced-gravity parabolas. Suggestions from both academia and industry were taken into account, as well as requirements imposed by a regulatory agency. The novelty of this work is the Proportional Integral Ramp Quadratic PIRQ controller, which is employed to counteract the aerodynamic forces impeding the vehicles constant acceleration during the maneuver. The stability of the free-fall maneuver under this controller is studied in detail via the formation of the transverse dynamics and the application of the circle criterion. The implementation of such a controller is then outlined, and the PIRQ controller is validated through a flight test, where the vehicle successfully tracks Martian gravity 0.378 G’s with a standard deviation of 0.0426.

متن کاملCan we prepare our bodies over the year to cope with Ramadan fasting more easily? Imam Reza’s health and dietary recommendations for different months of the year
Weather conditions, comprised of multiple parameters (e.g., atmospheric pressure, wind, temperature, moisture, and heat) vary during different months of the year. These variations influence almost all organisms including humans (1). Proper nutritional diet is one of the factors which can lead to human adjustment with atmospheric changes. Imam Reza, the eighth Shia Imam, has presented the most e...
متن کاملOPTIMAL AEROASSISTED RETURN FROM HIGH EARTH ORBIT WITH PLANE CHANGEr
Abstract--This paper gives a complete analysis of the problem of aeroassisted return from a high Earth orbit to a low Earth orbit with plane change. A discussion of pure propulsive maneuver leads to the necessary change for improvement of the fuel consumption by inserting in the middle of the trajectory an atmospheric phase to obtain all or part of the required plane change. The variational pro...
متن کاملEconomic Regulation Design for the Electricity Distribution Companies of Iran
In addition to the necessity of liberalizing the price of the various sectors of electricity, the regulation of sectors that still maintain their own monopoly structure is mandatory. In order to improve the efficiency of these sectors and encourage their cost reduction, incentive-based regulatory approaches are used which rely on performance evaluation. Due to the monopolistic structure of Iran...
متن کاملPassive Decomposition Approach to Formation and Maneuver Control of Multiple Rigid-Bodies
A passive decomposition framework for the formation and maneuver controls for multiple rigid bodies is proposed. In this approach, the group dynamics of the multiple agents are decomposed into two decoupled systems: the shape system representing internal group formation shape (formation, in short), and the locked system abstracting the overall group maneuver as a whole (maneuver, in short). The...
