Abstract:

The attitude tracking control problem is addressed for hypersonic vehicles under actuator faults that may cause an uncertain time-varying control gain matrix. An adaptive compensation scheme is developed to ensure system stability and asymptotic tracking properties, including a kinematic control signal and a dynamic control signal. To deal with the uncertainties of the control gain matrix, a new positive definite one is constructed. The minimum eigenvalue of such a new control gain matrix is estimated. Simulation results of application to an X-33 vehicle model verify the effectiveness of the proposed minimum eigenvalue based adaptive fault compensation scheme.

Key words: actuator fault, adaptive compensation, hypersonic vehicle, minimum eigenvalue
