Although inverter-driven hydraulic elevators(HEL's) have advantages over traditional valve-controlled HEL's energy efficiency and performance they need robustness in performance and stability to accomodate nonlinearities big parametric variations and resonances in mechanical-hydraulic inner system. In this paper a robust controller based on DGKF/$\mu$ mixed approach is applied to a HEL system with carring capacity of 24 persons for Incheon International Airport. The results of a test tower(T/T) has shown good ro-bustness in performance and stability of the proposed controller thereby proving a feasibility of this robust controller-based approach for other HEL problems.

In this paper a robust controller based on DGKF/μ mixed approach is applied to a HEL system with carring capacity of 24 persons for Incheon International Airport.

Wind tunnel test of an airplane model with forward swept wing was done in KARI LSWT to evaluate and measure the aerodynamic characteristics of initially designed configuration. Since the given wing planform did not fully satisfy the design requirements, local flow control devices such as vortilon, vortex generator and flow fence were used to delay separation and to enhance aerodynamic characteristics. Also decision making processes of design parameters such as vertical tail boom length, the location, size and the incidence angle of horizontal tail were discussed. The general aerodynamic characteristics of forward swept wing for various control surface deflection conditions of flap, aileron and elevator were also given.

무인항공기의 에일러론 및 플랩, 엘리베이터 등을 제어하기위한 작동기들은 구조적으로 Time variant한 비선형적인 특성을 가지고 있을 뿐 아니라, 비행 중에 풍향 및 풍량에 따라 모델링하기 힘든 외란이 발생할 경우가 많이 발생하기 때문에 우수한 제어성능을 보이는 제어기 설계에 많은 어려움이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 PID 제어기의 장점을 그대로 살리면서 실시간으로 변화하는 시스템에 adaptive하게 대응할 수 있고 Auto gain tuning을 이용하여 개발자의 시간과 노력을 현저히 줄일 수 있는 Fuzzy Auto gain tuning PID 제어 알고리즘을 비행체 Actuator 제어에 적용한 연구내용을 기술하였다.

본 연구는 적응제어기법을 이용한 무인항공기이 피치 자세 기동에 대한 연구 내용을 소개한다. 모델기반적응제어(Model Reference Adaptive Control)을 이용하여 피치 자세각과 엘리베이터 입력 사이의 피드백 선형화 과정에서 발생하는 불확실성을 처리하였다. 모델 불활실성 파라미터는 피드백 제어기가 작동하는 중에 적응법칙을 이용하여 추정할 수 있도록 설계 되었다. 안정화 제어기에 의해 달성되는 최종 피치 자세각에 대한 분석을 통해 폐루프 시스템의 특성을 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 제어 기법은 기존 제어기에서 주로 채택하고 있는 선형화나 게인 스케쥴링등의 과정이 필요하지 않아 상당한 모델 오차가 존재하는 상황에서 무인항공기의 고기동 피치 제어기 설계에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각한다.

In this paper the longitudinal control problem for the large WIG(wing-in-ground effect) craft is considered in the sense of the control augmentation system(CAS) derived by control surface of elevator. In order to achieve longitudinally stable systems, two modes of CAS are applied to the control systems which are pitch rate hold mode and pitch hold mode for steady flight. Since the employed CASs include the dynamic properties of the actuator time delay and the low pass filter, it provides the possible solution to be applicable to real systems. Nonlinear model simulations are fulfilled to investigate the effectiveness of the applied CASs with wind disturbance.

This paper addresses a feedback linearization control problem for the nonlinear dynamics of an underwater glider system. We consider the buoyancy and moment as control inputs, which come from the mass variation and elevator control, respectively. Moment-to-force coupling increases the nonlinearities, which make the controller design difficult. By using a feedback linearization technique, we convert the nonlinear underwater glider to an equivalent linear model and design a linear controller. The controller for the equivalent converted linear system is designed using sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Then, the control input of the nonlinear model of an underwater glider is formulated from the linear control input. An experimental examination is implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

This paper presents a novel concept of cargo handling system adapted for a sea port subjected to severe time-varying tide. The proposed system can perform loading or unloading by using a sort of hydraulic elevator associated with real-time position control. In order to achieve a proof-of-concept, a small-sized laboratory model of the cargo handling system is designed and built. The model consists of three principal components container palette transfer (CPT) car, platform with lifting columns, and cargo ship. The platform activated by electro-rheological (ER) valve-cylinders is actively controlled to track the position of the cargo ship subjected to be varied due to the time-varying tide and wave motion. Following the derivation of the dynamic model for the platform and cargo ship motions, an appropriate control scheme is formulated and implemented. The location of the CPT car is sensed by a set of photoelectric switches and controlled via sequence controller. On the other hand, a sliding mode controller (SMC) is adopted as the position controller for the platform. Both simulated and measured control results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cargo system.

In the design of flight control systems there are issues that deserve special consideration and attention such as external perturbations or systems failures. A Simple Adaptive Controller (SAC) that does not require a-priori knowledge of the faults is proposed in this paper with the aim of realizing a fault tolerant flight control system capable of leading the pitch motion of an aircraft. The main condition for obtaining a stable adaptive controller is the passivity of the plant; however, since real systems generally do not satisfy such requirement, a properly defined Parallel Feedforward Compensator (PFC) is used to let the augmented system meet the passivity condition. The design approach used in this paper to synthesize the PFC and to tune the invariant gains of the SAC is the Population Decline Swarm Optimization ($P_DSO$). It is a modification of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique that takes into account a decline demographic model to speed up the optimization procedure. Tuning and flight mechanics results are presented to show both the effectiveness of the proposed $P_DSO$ and the fault tolerant capability of the proposed scheme to control the aircraft pitch motion even in presence of elevator failures.

A concept of the perch landing assisted by thruster (PLAT) for a fixed wind aircraft is proposed in this paper. The proposed concept is applicable to relatively large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), hence can overcome the limitation of existing perch landing technologies. A planar rigid body motion of an aircraft with aerodynamic and thruster forces and moments is modeled. An optimal control problem to minimize the fuel consumption by determining the histories of thruster and elevator deflection angle with specified terminal landing condition is formulated and solved. A parametric study for various initial conditions and thruster parameters is conducted to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed concept.
