Tube-MPC Control via Notch Filter for Flexible Air-Breathing Hypersonic Vehicle with Actuator Fault

摘要

In this paper, the tube model predictive control (Tube-MPC) via notch filter is proposed for flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle with actuator fault. Firstly, considering the low-order flexible modes, the polytopic linear parameter varying (LPV) model of flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle is established using Jacobian linearization and tensor product. Actuator fault and parameter uncertainty are transformed into a lumped disturbance term. The baseline Tube-MPC trajectory tracking controller is developed by designing robust auxiliary feedback control law and nominal control law. In order to weaken the effect of flexibility, a notch filter is introduced to eliminate the frequency response peak of flexible modes. And the effect of notch filter on control performance and stability is analysed. Secondly, an alternative controller design strategy is proposed to ensure stability of the closed-loop system. The filter and the original nonlinear model are combined together such that the new polytopic LPV model is codesigned. On the basis, the adjustable Tube-MPC controller is developed to improve the control performance and ensure the stability of the system. Finally, the effectiveness of the two controllers is verified by simulations.
