Refined Safety Control of Unmanned Flight Vehicles via Fractional-Order Calculus

Download or read book Refined Safety Control of Unmanned Flight Vehicles via Fractional-Order Calculus written by Ziquan Yu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-02-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph explores the safety of unmanned flight vehicles via the corresponding fault-tolerant control design methods. The authors analyse the safety control issues of unmanned flight vehicles, which include finite-time recovery against faults, concurrence of actuator faults and sensor faults, concurrence of actuator faults and wind effects, and faults encountered by a portion of unmanned flight vehicles in a distributed communication network. In addition, the commonly used simple but effective proportional-integral-derivative structure is also incorporated into the safety control design for unmanned flight vehicles. By using the fractional-order calculus, the developed safety control results are able to ensure flight safety and achieve the refined performance adjustments against faults and wind effects. The book will be of interest to 3rd/4th year undergraduate students, postgraduate and graduate students, researchers, academic staff, engineers of aircraft and unmanned flight vehicles.
