Abstract
A new robust nonlinear controller is proposed to improve the performance of the atmospheric pressure simulator that has some special characteristics such as asymmetry and nonlinearity. The three major components in such systems, the chamber, the servo valve and the vacuum pump, are studied to develop a full nonlinear model which encompasses all the major nonlinearities. Based on the model expressed in the controllability canonical form, a feedback linearization controller is developed to handle the strong asymmetry and nonlinearity of the atmospheric pressure simulator. Considering the parametric uncertainties and un-modeled dynamics existing in the atmospheric pressure simulator, a self-tuning fuzzy proportional integral derivative controller integrating with feedback linearization is introduced to improve the performance of the atmospheric pressure simulator at high-altitude simulations. Simulations and experiments indicate that the proposed controller can effectively raise the dynamic response performance, and in the meantime stability can be ensured.
