The paper discusses the temperature changes in mechanical jet tabs in a system of rocket motor thrust vector control, estimated by the simulation and experimental tests methodology. The heat transfer calculation is based on complex computational fluid dynamics simulations of both the nozzle and external tab flows, as the comprehensive integral flow zones with high flow parameters gradients. Due to a complexity of the model for flow calculations, the experimental estimation of the calculated results is carried out. The temperature is measured by jet tabs embedded thermocouples, and conducted through the rocket motor static tests. A good agreement of the calculated and measured results is achieved. The main aim of the developed method is to establish an approved calculation tool for designing new TVC systems in order to avoid disadvantages due to overheating.

In this paper, based on the auto disturbance rejection control technology, the electromechanical servo system is used as the control actuator, and the thrust vector control of the solid rocket motor nozzle with typical nonlinear friction characteristics is studied and analyzed. In this paper, the realization of the classical PID algorithm and the lack of dynamic performance are analyzed, and then the compensation algorithm based on the auto disturbance rejection control technology is added. The algorithm compensates for the phase lag of the system due to the nonlinear friction characteristics. As a result, the frequency characteristics of the system have been significantly improved.
