Abstract

This paper investigates the sensor fault detection and fault-tolerant control (FTC) technology of a variable-structure hypersonic flight vehicle (HFV). First, an HFV nonlinear system considering sensor compound faults, disturbance, and the variable structure parameter is established, which is divided into the attitude angle outer and angular rate inner loops. Then a nonlinear fault integrated detector is proposed to detect the moment of fault occurrence and provide the residual to design the sliding mode equations. Furthermore, the sliding mode method combined with the virtual adaptive controller constitutes the outer loop FTC scheme, and the adaptive dynamic surface combined with the disturbance estimation constitutes the inner loop robust controller; these controllers finally realize the direct compensation of the compound sensor faults under the disturbance condition. This scheme does not require fault isolation and diagnosis observer loops; it only uses a variable structure FTC with a direct estimation algorithm and integrated residual to complete the self-repairing stable flight of variable-structure HFV, which exhibits a high reliability and quick response. Lyapunov theory proved the stability of the system, and numerical simulation proved the effectiveness of the FTC scheme.

Highlights

  • The attitude control technology is an important research direction for hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs) [1,2,3]

  • Nonlinearity is an inherent property of HFV; in [9], an indirect global neural controller of strict-feedback systems in the presence of unknown nonlinear dynamics was designed using the dynamic surface

  • In [16], the proposed multi-variable integral sliding-mode control could guarantee the finite-time stability in the presence of actuator malfunctions and disturbances. These controllers were all designed under fault-free conditions; we employed the adaptive disturbance estimation combined with the direct compensation of the nonlinear dynamic surface to suppress the disturbance in the inner loop of

Summary

Introduction

The attitude control technology is an important research direction for hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs) [1,2,3]. In [16], the proposed multi-variable integral sliding-mode control could guarantee the finite-time stability in the presence of actuator malfunctions and disturbances These controllers were all designed under fault-free conditions; we employed the adaptive disturbance estimation combined with the direct compensation of the nonlinear dynamic surface to suppress the disturbance in the inner loop of HFVs, and combined the adaptive sliding mode and dynamic surface to achieve a nonlinear fault compensation. An FTC scheme is developed using the indirect variable structure adaptive, sliding mode, and dynamic surface methods for a nonlinear HFV with sensor compound faults and disturbances. The main content of this paper is: Section 2 presents the reentry attitude model of variable-structure HFV with sensor compound faults and disturbance, as well as the FTC target; Section 3 presents the design method of nonlinear fault detector, and the overall.
