This paper investigates the position and velocity tracking control of a class of high-speed trains (HST) with unknown actuator failures (AF) and control input saturation (CIS). Firstly, a nonlinear dynamic model for HST at normal operating status is built. The structure of traction system in HST is analyzed and the corresponding model for HST with unknown AF is presented as well. The type of AF under consideration is that some of the plant inputs are influenced by hopping function. An adaptive model-based fault detection and diagnosis (AMFDD) module is proposed based on immersion and invariance (I&I) method to make decisions on whether a fault has occurred. A new framework to design a monotone mapping is proposed in I&I method, that is,P(x)-monotone. Using on-line obtained fault information, an adaptive law is designed to update the controller parameters to handle unknown AF and CIS in HST simultaneously when some of plant parameters are unknown. Closed-loop stability and asymptotic position and velocity tracking are ensured. Numerical simulations of China Railways High-speed 2 (CRH2) train are provided to verify the effectiveness of the presented scheme.

The cruise control problem of high speed trains (HSTs) is revisited in this paper. Despite the ongoing trend of using Lyapunov-based approaches, the concept of passivity is used as the basis of cruise controller design. To begin with, the Euler–Lagrange modeling of longitudinal motion of HST is introduced. Consequently, passivity properties of the system is investigated and it is shown that the system presents a strictly passive input–output map output. This property is utilized to design a controller based on an energy-shaping method. Since the controller benefits from the passivity property of the train, it is structurally simple and computationally efficient while ensuring asymptotic velocity tracking. In addition, as revealed in our robust analysis, the controller is capable of dealing with bounded perturbations. That is to say, boundedness of velocity tracking errors is guaranteed for sufficiently large control feedback gains. The obtained theoretical results have been verified by numerical simulation.

This paper presents an adaptive fixed-time guidance law for the three-dimensional interception guidance problem with impact angle constraints and control input saturation against a maneuvering target. First, a coupled guidance model formulated by the relative motion equation is established. On this basis, a fixed-time disturbance observer is employed to estimate the lumped disturbances. With the help of this estimation technique, the adaptive fixed-time sliding mode guidance law is designed to accomplish accurate interception. The stability of the closed-loop guidance system is proven by the Lyapunov method. Simulation results of different scenarios are executed to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed guidance law.

Abstract An optimal simultaneous kinematic, dynamic and control design approach is proposed for high performance computer controlled machines such as robot manipulators. The approach is based on the Trajectory Pattern Method (TPM) and a fundamentally new design philosophy that such machines in general and ultra-high performance machines in particular must only be designed to perform a class or classes of motions effectively. In the proposed approach, given the structure of the manipulator, its kinematic, dynamic and control parameters are optimized simultaneously with the parameters that describe the selected trajectory pattern. In the example presented in this paper, a weighted sum of the norms of the higher harmonics appearing in the actuating torques and the integral of the position and velocity tracking errors are used to form the optimality criterion. The selected optimality criterion should yield a system that is optimally designed to accurately follow the specified trajectory at high speed. Other objective functions can be readily formulated to synthesize systems for optimal performance. The potentials of the developed method and its implementation for generally defined motion patterns are discussed.

Missile control system is not block strict feedback system which is suitable to use backstepping method. So in this paper, a backstepping control method is proposed to design a missile longitudinal autopilot and is proved to be asymptotically stable by Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation results show that the designed system can still track commands quickly and accurately and is robust with aerodynamic perturbation and control input saturation.
