Abstract
Vibrations often result in fatigue breakage in quadcopter flight operations. Reducing the vibration effect is the main important issue for quadcopter flight. Enhanced dynamic stiffness is required in the quadcopter control system for the vibration rejection ability. In this paper, the dynamic stiffness of the quadcopter control system is constructed and is used as an index for the performance of the quadcopter control system to resist an external oscillatory load. To rapidly reduce the vibration effect, a repetitive controller is introduced in the quadcopter control system, where the direct dynamic stiffness and the quadrature dynamic stiffness with variable frequencies are proposed. A theoretical model of the dynamic stiffness of the quadcopter control system is established by analyzing the definition of dynamic stiffness. Simulated and experimental results show that the magnitudes of the direct dynamic stiffness with the proposed repetitive controller are larger than those without the repetitive controller. The quadrature dynamic stiffness with the proposed repetitive controller is relatively smooth compared to that without the proposed repetitive controller, which can be used to verify the stability being improved by the designed repetitive controller. In addition, the magnitudes of the loss factor of the quadcopter control system with the repetitive controller are lower than those without the repetitive controller.
