Dynamic Simulation of a Helicopter Carrying a Slung Load
نویسندگان
چکیده
The safety and operational flight envelope of helicopters carrying externally slung loads, as illustrated in Figure 1, in support of regular Army/Special Air Service (SAS) operations, is limited and sometimes seriously hindered by stability and control problems. Several incidences have been reported by the Australian Army in which possible aerodynamic excitation or dynamic instability of the slung load has resulted in a forced premature release.

Adaptive Control System for Autonomous Helicopter Slung Load Operations
This paper presents design and verification of an estimation and control system for a helicopter slung load system. The estimator provides position and velocity estimates of the slung load and is designed to augment existing navigation in autonomous helicopters. Sensor input is provided by a vision system on the helicopter that measures the position of the slung load. The controller is a combin...
متن کاملDynamic Load Carrying Capacity of Mobile-Base Flexible-Link Manipulators: Feedback Linearization Control Approach
This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...

متن کاملOptimal Trajectory of Flexible Manipulator with Maximum Load Carrying Capacity
In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...
