A Control Method for Thermal Structural Tests of Hypersonic Missile Aerodynamic Heating by Chao Lu, Guangming Zhang, Xiaodong Lv

“…This paper presents an intelligent proportional-derivative adaptive global nonsingular fast-terminal sliding-mode control (IPDAGNFTSMC) for tracking temperature trajectories of a hypersonic missile in thermal structural tests. Firstly, the numerical analyses on a hypersonic missile’s aerodynamic heating are based on three different external flow fields via the finite element calculation, which provides the data basis for the thermal structural test of hypersonic vehicles; secondly, due to temperature trajectory differences of a hypersonic missile and the thermal inertia and nonlinear characteristics of quartz lamps in thermal structural test, IPDAGNFTSMC is proposed, consisting of three components: (i) the mathematical model of the thermal structural test is established and further replaced via an intelligent proportional-derivative with a nonlinear extended state observer (NESO) for online unknown disturbances observation; (ii) compared with the traditional sliding-mode control method, the AGNFTSMC method eliminates the reaching phase and the initial control state is trapped on the sliding-mode surface. …”
