Automated Generation of LFT-Based Parametric Uncertainty Descriptions from Generic Aircraft Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer assisted modelling methodology is developed for the generation of linearized models with parametric uncertainties described by Linear Fractional Transformations (LFTs). The starting point of the uncertainty modelling is a class of generic nonlinear aircraft models with explicit parametric dependence used for simulation purposes. The proposed methodology integrates specialized software tools for object-oriented modelling, for simulation, and for numerical as well as symbolic computations. The methodology has many generic features being applicable to similar nonlinear model classes.

Formal robustness analysis of aircraft control upset prevention and recovery systems could play an important role in their validation and ultimate certification. Such systems (developed for failure detection, identification, and reconfiguration, as well as upset recovery) need to be evaluated over broad regions of the flight envelope and under extreme flight conditions, and should include vario...

Analysis is a powerful tool for the assessment of the stability of uncertain parametric systems by means of the Structured Singular Value. The peak upper bound value of over a frequency range provides information on the stability margin of a system for given variations of uncertain parameters, while the computed lower bound on allows to obtain worst-case parameter combinations destabilizing the...
