Robust Backstepping Control of Wing Rock Using Disturbance Observer

Abstract

Wing rock is a highly nonlinear phenomenon when the aircraft suffers undesired roll-dominated oscillatory at high angle of attack (AOA). Considering the strong nonlinear and unsteady aerodynamic characteristics, an uncertain multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear wing rock model is studied, and system uncertainties, unsteady aerodynamic disturbances and external disturbances are considered in the design of wing rock control law. To handle the problem of multiple disturbances, a robust control scheme is proposed based on the extended state observer (ESO) and the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) technique. Considering that the effectiveness of actuators are greatly decreased at high AOA, the input saturation problem is also handled by constructing a corresponding auxiliary system. Based on the improved ESO and the auxiliary system, a robust backstepping control law is proposed for the wing rock control. In addition, the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique is introduced to avoid the tedious computations of time derivatives for the virtual control laws in the backstepping method. The stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed via rigorously Lyapunov analysis. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the ESO and the proposed wing rock control approach.

“…The origin (x e , y e ,β) = (0, 0, 0) is uniformly globally exponentially stable (UGES) if the adaptive law of θ is (21), ψ d is set as (18) and U is equal to (28).…”

“…The first Lyapunov function V 1 is set as positive definite and radially unbounded, while its derivative is quadratically negative definite when asserting (18), (21) and (28). Therefore, by the stability theory of Lyapunov, the origin (x e , y e ,β) = (0, 0, 0) is UGES.…”

“…According to engineering practice, the ship model has the characteristics of nonlinearity and uncertainty due to the continuous change of operating conditions. To deal with the uncertainty of the model problem, neural network (back propagation (BP) neural network and radial basis function (RBF) neural network) [18,19] or fuzzy logic [20,21], which have the ability of universal approximation, are usually introduced into the control system. However, fuzzy logic requires more expert prior knowledge, so the neural network is used more widely in the field of universal approximation.…”
