Flexible spacecraft attitude maneuver via adaptive sliding mode control and mixed component synthesis vibration suppression

Abstract

<p indent=0mm>A mixed component synthesis vibration suppression method (MCSVS) is proposed to solve the problem of residual vibration of flexible attachments, which is difficult to control effectively. Theorems and inferences are provided, and their proofs are performed. Aiming at the problem that the attitude controllers cannot suppress the vibration of flexible attachments in spacecraft attitude maneuver, a strategy combining the MCSVS method with an attitude control method is proposed. Considering the existence of moment of inertia variation and external disturbance of spacecraft, an adaptive sliding mode variable structure controller is proposed. By introducing a sliding mode boundary layer and the update rate of the torque parameter, the disadvantages of torque chattering and parameter dependence are eliminated. Finally, the joint application of the MCSVS method and the adaptive variable structure controller is realized with the assistance of piezoelectric intelligent materials. Simulation results show that the control strategy without the MCSVS method cannot suppress the vibration of flexible attachments. After combining the MCSVS method with the attitude control method, the residual vibration is well controlled, and the attitude accuracy is improved.
