The morphing aircraft is modeled as an LPV system, whose scheduling parameter is the variation rate of the wing sweep angle. By dividing the scheduling parameter set into subsets with overlaps, output feedback controllers which consider smooth switching are designed and the controllers in over- lapped subsets are interpolated from two adjacent subsets. A switching law without constraint on the average dwell time is obtained which makes the conclusion less conservative. Furthermore, a systematic algorithm is developed to improve the efficiency of the controllers design process. The parameter set is divided into the fewest subsets on the premise that the closed-loop system has a desired performance. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.展开更多

For a given set of linear feedback gains, a given switching scheme and a given bound on the E-infinity norm of the disturbances, conditions are established, in terms of linear or bilinear matrix inequalities, under which a set of a certain form is invariant for a given switched linear system in the presence of actuator saturation and E-infinity disturbances, and the closed-loop system possesses a certain level of disturbance rejection capability. With these conditions, the design of feedback gains and switching scheme can be formulated and solved as constrained optimization problems. Disturbance tolerance is measured by the largest bound on the disturbances for which the trajectories starting from a given set remain bounded. Disturbance rejection is measured either by the E-infinity norm of the system output or by the system＇s ability to steer its state into and/or keep it within a small neighborhood of the origin. In the event that all systems in the family are identical, the switched system reduces to a single system under a switching feedback law. Simulation results show that such a single system under a switching feedback law could have stronger disturbance tolerance/rejection capability than a single linear feedback law can.展开更多
