Adaptive sliding mode backstepping control for near space vehicles considering engine faults

摘要

A fault tolerant control methodology based adaptive sliding mode (ASM) backstepping is proposed for near space vehicle (NSV) attitude control system under engine faults. The proposed scheme combined adaptive backstepping with the slid-ing mode control strategy could guarantee the system's stability and track desired signals under external disturbances and en-gine faults.Firstly,attitude mode description and the engine faulty model are given. Secondly, a nominal control law is designed. Thirdly,a sliding mode observer is given later in order to estimate both the information of engine faults and external disturbances.An adaptive sliding mode technology based on the previous nominal control law is developed via updating faulty parameters. Finally, analyze the system's fault-tolerant performance and reliability through experiment simulation, which verifies the proposed de-sign of fault-tolerant control can tolerate engine faults, as well as the strong robustness for external disturbance.
