Eigenstructure Assignment for Helicopter Hover Control

چکیده
Abstract: In this paper, recent Eigenstructure Assignment (EA) algorithms are implemented to provide dynamic control of a Lynx helicopter in the hover, using the ideal eigenstructure derived by Clarke et al. [2003b]. First, a state-feedback controller is presented to demonstrate that the target eigenstructure is consistent with the kinematics of a helicopter, and that the closed-loop system meets the UK Ministry of Defence Defence Standard 00-970 requirements for Level 1 handling qualities. The EA algorithm for semi-proper systems presented by Pomfret et al. [2005] is then employed to demonstrate its efficacy and to allow comparison with the state-feedback case. Finally, the gain suppression methods from Pomfret and Clarke [2005] are used to introduce structure to a controller without affecting its performance.

Helicopter Rotor Airloads Prediction Using CFD and Flight Test Measurement in Hover Flight
An implicit unsteady upwind solver including a mesh motion approach was applied to simulate a helicopter including body, main rotor and tail rotor in hover flight. The discretization was based on a second order finite volume approach with fluxes given by the Roeand#39;s scheme. Discretization of Geometric Conservation Laws (GCL) was devised in such a way that the three-dimensional flows on arbi...
متن کاملIdentiication and Control of a Model Helicopter in Hover
A state-space model for a small radio-controlled helicopter in hover is developed. Linear estimation is used to identify parameters of the model. The parameter variances are used to develop an uncertainty description of the system. An LQG controller with setpoint tracking is designed and implemented on this system.
متن کاملA review on eigenstructure assignment methods and orthogonal eigenstructure control of structural vibrations
This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of eigenstructure assignment methods for vibration cancellation. Eigenstructure assignment techniques have been widely used during the past three decades for vibration suppression in structures, especially in large space structures. These methods work similar to mode localization in which global vibrations are managed such that they remain localized...
متن کاملSelection and Setting of the Intelligent Fuzzy Regulator based on Simulations of Nonlinear Model of the Helicopter in Hover
Most research on fuzzy regulators has focused on integrating rules in intelligent control systems. In this paper a fuzzy helicopter regulator for a single-rotor helicopter PZL Kania is considered. Unlike other methods that match only the ability of stable flying, our methods match hovering conditions with disturbances. Two simulations were performed to validate our method. In the first simulati...

Nowadays, high levels of agility, maneuverability and capability of operating in reduced visual environments and adverse weather conditions are the new trends of helicopter design. Helicopter flight control systems should make these performance requirements achievable by improving tracking performance and disturbance rejection capability. Robustness is one of the critical issues which must be c...
