Barrier Lyapunov Function-Based Sliding Mode Control for BWB Aircraft With Mismatched Disturbances and Output Constraints

Abstract

This paper presents a barrier Lyapunov function based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control with fixed-time non-recursive disturbance observer for the blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft in the presence of mismatched disturbances and output constraints. The fixed-time non-recursive disturbance observer based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control is proposed for matched and mismatched disturbances attenuation. Furthermore, in order to pursue high-precision attitude tracking regarded as output tracking errors constraints before disturbance observer tracking errors converge to a small prescribed range, the barrier Lyapunov function is designed to constrain the sliding mode variables before states reach the sliding mode surface. Consequently outputs tracking errors constraints can be satisfied by the sliding variables constraints. More importantly, barrier Lyapunov function based terminal sliding mode controller ensures the finite-time convergence. Finally, the numerical simulations demonstrate the chattering attenuation and high-precision attitude tracking of the BWB aircraft in the presence of mismatched disturbances and output constraints.INDEX TERMS Barrier Lyapunov function, blended-wing-body aircraft, fixed-time non-recursive disturbance observer, mismatched disturbances, output constraints.

Design and Validation of Disturbance Rejection Dynamic Inverse Control for a Tailless Aircraft in Wind Tunnel

“…The flight dynamics of the tailless aircraft model on the rig are modeled as a three degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) angular motion, which has been developed in ref. [32,36,37]. In modeling of this motion, a set of assumptions are made including: the rigid-body aircraft model, the symmetrical distribution of aircraft mass about the xz plane, the negligible aerodynamic interference induced by the rig and the limited dynamic influence of rig friction and support misalignment.…”

Observer-Based Fault Tolerant Control for a Class of Nonlinear Systems via Filter and Neural Network

“…The effectiveness of such method was verified via stability analysis and simulation results. In [8], a blended wing body aircraft with mismatched disturbances and output constraints was studied, in order to handle with the disturbances, a fixed time non-recursive observer was designed. Then, barrier Lyapunov function and nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode technique were used to design controller.…”

Unit Sliding Mode Control for Disturbed Crowd Dynamics System Based on Integral Barrier Lyapunov Function

“…A high-order BLF was applied to achieve output constraint for a category of highorder nonlinear systems in [25]. More valuable achievements could refer to [26]- [30]. Shuang [31] introduced the BLF method into the infinite-dimensional system, and designed a controller to ensure the tracking error bounded stable, that is, the tracking error is limited to a certain range, but it cannot asymptotically converge to 0.…”
