First, a set of ascent trajectories is obtained as candidates for tracking control through a trajectory design method that considers the available acceleration. Second, the basic theory of performance limitations, which is adopted to calculate the limits on control performance through the trajectory, is integrated. The openloop dynamics of air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is responsible for these limits on the control system. Comprehensive specifications on stability, tracking accuracy, and robustness are derived, and the flight envelope with constraints and control specifications is identified. Simulation results suggest that trajectory design should consider restrictions on control performance to obtain reliable solutions.展开更多

Following the proposed skyhook-based asymmetric semi-active controller （Part I ） for achieving the above goals, herein, a set of suspension performance measures and three kinds of varying amplitude harmonic, rounded pulse and really measured random excitations are systematically defined, and the sensitivity of quarter-vehicle MR-suspension performance to variations in operating conditions is thoroughly analyzed. The results illustrate that the proposed skyhook-based semi-active MR-suspension in the asymmetric mode yields relatively superior dynamic responses to meet the multiple suspension performances of ride, rattle space, road-holding and dynamic tire force transmitted to the pavement, and has desirable robustness on variations in operating conditions of vehicle load and speed and the road roughness.展开更多

文摘This paper addresses the lane-keeping control problem for autonomous ground vehicles subject to input saturation and uncertain system parameters.An enhanced adaptive terminal sliding mode based prescribed performance control scheme is proposed,which enables the lateral position error of the vehicle to be kept within the prescribed performance boundaries all the time.This is achieved by firstly introducing an improved performance function into the controller design such that the stringent initial condition requirements can be relaxed,which further allows the global prescribed performance control result,and then,developing a multivariable adaptive terminal sliding mode based controller such that both input saturation and parameter uncertainties are handled effectively,which further ensures the robust lane-keeping control.Finally,the proposed control strategy is validated through numerical simulations,demonstrating its effectiveness.

文摘An integrated approach that considers the performance limitations of tracking control systems for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is proposed. First, a set of ascent trajectories is obtained as candidates for tracking control through a trajectory design method that considers the available acceleration. Second, the basic theory of performance limitations, which is adopted to calculate the limits on control performance through the trajectory, is integrated. The openloop dynamics of air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is responsible for these limits on the control system. Comprehensive specifications on stability, tracking accuracy, and robustness are derived, and the flight envelope with constraints and control specifications is identified. Simulation results suggest that trajectory design should consider restrictions on control performance to obtain reliable solutions.

文摘For a distributed drive electric vehicle(DDEV)driven by four in-wheel motors,advanced vehicle dynamic control methods can be realized easily because motors can be controlled independently,quickly and precisely.And direct yaw-moment control(DYC)has been widely studied and applied to vehicle stability control.Good vehicle handling performance:quick yaw rate transient response,small overshoot,high steady yaw rate gain,etc,is required by drivers under normal conditions,which is less concerned,however.Based on the hierarchical control methodology,a novel control system using direct yaw moment control for improving handling performance of a distributed drive electric vehicle especially under normal driving conditions has been proposed.The upper-loop control system consists of two parts:a state feedback controller,which aims to realize the ideal transient response of yaw rate,with a vehicle sideslip angle observer;and a steering wheel angle feedforward controller designed to achieve a desired yaw rate steady gain.Under the restriction of the effect of poles and zeros in the closed-loop transfer function on the system response and the capacity of in-wheel motors,the integrated time and absolute error(ITAE)function is utilized as the cost function in the optimal control to calculate the ideal eigen frequency and damper coefficient of the system and obtain optimal feedback matrix and feedforward matrix.Simulations and experiments with a DDEV under multiple maneuvers are carried out and show the effectiveness of the proposed method:yaw rate rising time is reduced,steady yaw rate gain is increased,vehicle steering characteristic is close to neutral steer and drivers burdens are also reduced.The control system improves vehicle handling performance under normal conditions in both transient and steady response.State feedback control instead of model following control is introduced in the control system so that the sense of control intervention to drivers is relieved.

文摘This paper is concerned with the control performance assessment based on the multivariable generalized minimum variance benchmark.An explicit expression for the feedback controller-invariant(the generalized minimum variance)term of the multivariable control system is obtained,which is used as a standard benchmark for the assessment of the control performance for multi input multi output(MIMO)process.The proposed approach is based on the multivariable minimum variance benchmark.In comparison with the minimum variance benchmark, the developed method is more reasonable and practical for the control performance assessment of multivariable systems.The approach is illustrated by a simulation example and an industrial application.

文摘The design and analysis of an intelligent vehicle suspension with MR dampers should address hybrid semi-active control goals, such as rejection of current-switching discontinuity and MR-damper hysteresis, asymmetric damping from the symmetric MR-damper design, robustness on the vehicle operation parameter uncertainties and consideration of essential multiple suspension goals. Following the proposed skyhook-based asymmetric semi-active controller （Part I ） for achieving the above goals, herein, a set of suspension performance measures and three kinds of varying amplitude harmonic, rounded pulse and really measured random excitations are systematically defined, and the sensitivity of quarter-vehicle MR-suspension performance to variations in operating conditions is thoroughly analyzed. The results illustrate that the proposed skyhook-based semi-active MR-suspension in the asymmetric mode yields relatively superior dynamic responses to meet the multiple suspension performances of ride, rattle space, road-holding and dynamic tire force transmitted to the pavement, and has desirable robustness on variations in operating conditions of vehicle load and speed and the road roughness.

文摘The feasibility of utilizing molybdenum tailing and diatomite as siliceous materials to prepare calcium silicate board was explored.The influences of molybdenum tailing/diatomite proportion on hydration characteristics,thermal conductivity,water absorption,flexural strength and moisture adsorption-desorption property of calcium silicate board were investigated in detail.The experimental results reveal that molybdenum tailing is environmentally friendly to prepare building materials.The main hydration products in calcium silicate board under autoclaved condition are C-S-H with low crystallinity and tobermorite.Molybdenum tailing is favorable to the formation of tobermorite.The flexural strength and bulk density of the calcium silicate board gradually increase when the content of molybdenum tailing increases.Netlike C-S-H is formed with the increase of diatomite content during autoclaved curing process,resulting in the enhancement of moisture adsorptiondesorption performance and the reduction of thermal conductivity.The optimal content of molybdenum tailing is 20%,furthermore,the flexual strength and thermal conductivity of calcium silicate board at this content meet the Chinese standard JC/T564.1-2008.
