State-feedback model predictive control (MPC) of discrete-time linear periodic systems with timedependent state and input dimensions is considered. The states and inputs are subject to periodically time-dependent, hard, convex, polyhedral constraints. First, periodic controlled and positively invariant sets are characterized, and a method to determine the maximum periodic controlled and positiv...

The paper outlines the development of a co-simulation solution of Matlab and FlightGear in which the communication between these programs is done via UDP without needing further toolsets. The simulation and rendering is done by FlightGear. Flight measurement signals are sent to Matlab, which in turn sends back actuator input values computed by a flight control system. First, gray-box models of ...

Unmanned aerial vehicle experience different atmospheric uncertainties during their flight. These uncertainties caused the problem in the stability and the desired performance of the system. This research paper structured to nullify the influence of atmospheric turbulence and ground effect on the UAV. The models of Dryden turbulence is used as it is one of the major disturbances affecting the U...

Progress in aircraft designs heavily depend on Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). In this work a fuzzy sliding mode controller is designed as a supervisory controller in aircraft pitch control systems and different control strategies to model a pitch controller based on design a pitch angle control in autopilot are invistigated. A performance evaluation based on time response specification...

This paper studies the exponential stabilization problem for discrete-time switched linear systems based on a control-Lyapunov function approach. It is proved that a switched linear system is exponentially stabilizable if and only if there exists a piecewise quadratic control-Lyapunov function. Such a converse control-Lyapunov function theorem justifies many of the earlier synthesis methods tha...

In this paper, the seven degrees of freedom (DOF) nonlinear system model articulated vehicles, including vehicle dynamics model, tire and hydraulic steering linearized ideal reference is constructed. A layered stability controller for built. The particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based variable parameter linear quadratic regulator (LQR) upper-level yaw torque lower-level distributor based on pri...
