  • A stereo vision-based attitude measurement system for Aircraft Model in wind tunnel
    2010 International Conference on Computer Application and System Modeling (ICCASM 2010), 2010
    Co-Authors: Jiechun Chen, Liping Zhao
    Abstract:

    Measuring the attitude of an Aircraft Model in wind tunnel accurately is one way to improve the accuracy of wind tunnel experiment results. This paper investigates a stereo vision-based attitude measurement system for Aircraft Model in wind tunnel. To measure the attitude of an Aircraft Model, a cooperative object mounted on the Aircraft Model is firstly used to generate two bidirectional collimated laser beams, and then the laser beams are projected onto the surfaces of two screens. A pair of binocular stereo vision measurement systems is used to measure the 3D coordinates of the laser spots on the wall surfaces. Once the 3D coordinates of the laser spots are measured accurately, the attitude of the Aircraft Model in wind tunnel can be determined. The method for attitude measurement is validated in a controlled laboratory environment, and some preliminary experimental results are presented in the paper.

  • Stereo vision based attitude measurement of Aircraft Model in wind tunnel
    Journal of Applied Optics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Yuan Feng
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates a stereo vision based method for Model attitude measurement in wind tunnel test. A cooperative object,which can generate two bidirectional collimated laser beams,is firstly mounted on the shell of an Aircraft Model,and then the Aircraft Model is placed between two screens. The laser beams,which are projected onto the screen surfaces,generate four laser spots. Once the 3D coordinates of the laser spots are measured accurately by means of stereo vision technique,the attitude of the Aircraft Model can be determined by the principle of coordinate transformation. The analytical expressions for determining the attitude of an Aircraft Model in wind tunnel are presented in the paper. In addition,the proposed method was validated in a controlled laboratory condition. The preliminary experimental results show that the maximal error of attitude measurement is less than 0.05° on condition that the distance between two screens is about 6m.

  • Adaptive actuator failure compensation for a transport Aircraft Model
    Proceedings of the 2001 American Control Conference. (Cat. No.01CH37148), 2001
    Co-Authors: Shuhao Chen, Gang Tao, Suresh M. Joshi
    Abstract:

    Adaptive actuator failure compensation schemes are developed for a class of multi-input and single-output plants with actuator failures characterized by certain inputs stuck at some unknown fixed value at unknown time instants. Conditions and controller structures for achieving state tracking and output tracking in the presence of actuator failures are derived. Adaptive laws are designed for updating some of the controller parameters when the actuator failure parameters are unknown. Simulation results for a linearized transport Aircraft Model with actuator failure show the desired system performance with adaptive failure compensation.

  • Adaptive synthetic jet actuator compensation for a nonlinear Aircraft Model at low angles of attack
    IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Dipankar Deb, Jason O. Burkholder, Gang Tao, Douglas R Smith
    Abstract:

    A new technology for the control of next-generation airplanes using virtual wing shaping with synthetic jet actuators is presented. In this approach, an array of actuators is used to modify the aerodynamic performance of a wing and mimic control surface deflections. In the Model, the control effect is represented with a nonlinear, parameterized Model, derived from experimental data. An adaptive compensation scheme for the implementation of such actuator arrays on a nonlinear tailless Aircraft Model at low angles of attack has been developed. Adaptive inverse arrays (set of adaptive inverse Models of the actuators) are employed for cancelling the effect of the jet nonlinearities. A nonlinear state feedback control law is designed, wherein a set of intermediate states are used as controls for other Aircraft states. Parameter projection-based adaptive laws are used to ensure desired closed-loop stability.
