Robust Control Moment Gyroscope Steering Logic with Gimbal Angle Constraints

摘要

A mechanical gimbal angle constraint significantly simplifies the design of control moment gyroscopes. A robust CMG steering logic has been presented in which singularities can be escaped with gimbal constraints successfully. Worst-case scenarios, such as starting a maneuver within an elliptic singularity, show that the proposed control logic steers gimbal angles away from its hard 180 deg constraint.
