An nonlinear feedback control for radial constrained force of flying boom after contact with receiver

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

After contact with receiver aircraft, the nozzle of flying boom is locked into the receptacle of receiver which may generate a dangerous radial constrained force (RCF) with disturbance from environment. This paper presents a novel control method to eliminate the RCF. Based on the existing altitude dynamic function, the unloading dynamic model can be achieved by putting the RCF into the existing dynamic function. However the resulting dynamic function is an algebraic equation which has no derivative of the RCF and cannot be used to design unloading controller directly. In order to eliminate the RCF, nonlinear feedback control method is used to obtain the state equation and to design the unloading controller. Due to the particularity of the dynamic function after contact, the Barbalat's lemma is used to prove that the control law is asymptotically stable. Finally, the simulation result verifies the effectiveness of the unloading controller.
