Abstract- The purpose of this article is to present the state of the art which concerns the application of robust synthesis techniques of linear systems and mu-analysis of longitudinal and lateral flight of the helicopter.

Index Terms– Helicopter, state feedback control, state representation, robust control, mu-analysis.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    The robust control of the helicopter is a type of control that aims to guarantee the performance and stability of a system during flight in the face of environmental disturbances and uncertainties of the model and a difficult task since the dynamics of the system is no linear, unstable on certain flight ranges and has a strongly coupled dynamic. Indeed, the mathematical model that models a real system is a representation that aims to best approximate, with simplifying assumptions, the system we want to control.

    2.2 Robust control in longitudinal and lateral flight of the helicopter

    The parameters of the system are marred by parametric uncertainty. Each uncertain coefficient is modeled as:

    = (1 + ) , || < 1 (1) Or :

    :is the nominal value of the parameter considered;

    : the corresponding weighting coefficient. We have chosen = 0,2 for all the parameters.

    By higher fractional linear transformation, we have:

    = [22 + 21( 11)112] (2)

    Is :

  2. METHODOLOGY

    In practice, the modeling is not precise enough to faithfully

    = [ 0 ] (3)

    reflect the behavior of a system. Often designers use models with unstructured uncertainties that generally affect poorly known or intentionally neglected dynamics.

    A direct additive form model error is adopted for the synthesis of the corrector for this system (Figure 1). In our case, we will take as scaling function the scalar function:

    2.1 Simulation of the synthesis and analysis model Robustness analysis is performed by incorporating all model uncertainties into a single transfer matrix without imposing any particular structure on it. In this study, assuming that

    ( + 10)

    = 107

    10( + 500)

    ( + 5)

    (4)

    several sources of uncertainties of different natures coexist, we adopt a system with model errors of direct additive form. Two other input signals, applied in two different places of the

    = 10

    10(5 + 1000)

    servo-control, are then taken into account, and the evolution of the performance of the looped system is monitored. The problem therefore arises as the search for a compromise between the objective sought and the means necessary to correct the system by using different methods of synthesis.

    To achieve the desired performance, it is necessary to satisfy

    the inequality ( + )1 < 1.

    Here, the weighting function is a scalar function, so the

    singular values of the sensitivity function

    ( + )1 over all frequency ranges must be obtained by

    1

    the curve

    . It means that

    ( + )1

    < 1 if and only if all frequencies:

  1. CONCLUSION

    In this article, we have been able to develop robustness synthesis analysis tools for a linear system. Structured singular value is one of the very powerful tools for analyzing the robustness of a linear system tainted by uncertainty. It has been explained how the -analysis method can analyze the robustness of stability and performance of a system. The standard problem explains the synthesis of a controller by minimizing the H-infinite standard of the LFT F(, ). The resolution of this optimization leads to the determination of

    1. The use of -analysis and the problem of H-infinity has established another synthesis tool that is -synthesis.
