CONTROLE DE AERONAVES VISANDO EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA E ROBUSTEZ A FALHAS

Abstract

In this paper an approach for faultaccommodation in a flight of an aircraft is presented. Theused strategy for fault accommodation is the technique“Variable Structure Controle with Sliding Mode” (VSC/SL).A nonlinear mathematical model of a flight Simulator of aQuanser’s Helicopter was used. This system is an excellentmodule for teaching and development of control techniques.The results obtained in digital simulations show theeffectiveness of the VSC/SL to control the system in fault.Index Terms – Sliding Mode, Fault Accommodation, LinearQuadratic Regulator.
