Abstract: 
This paper investigates the state-tracking control problem in conversion mode of a tilt-rotor aircraft with a switching modeling method and a smooth interpolation technique. Based on the nonlinear model of the conversion mode, a switched linear model is developed by using the Jacobian linearization method and designing the switching signal based on the mast angle. Furthermore, an H state-tracking control scheme is designed to deal with the conversion mode control issue. Moreover, instead of limiting the amplitude of control inputs, a smooth interpolation method is developed to create bumpless performance. Finally, the XV-15 tilt-rotor aircraft is chosen as a prototype to illustrate the effectiveness of this developed control method.

摘要:本文使用切换建模和光滑插值技术,研究倾转旋翼机过渡模式的状态跟踪控制问题。基于过渡模式的非线性动力学模型,采用Jacobi线性化方法,并根据倾转角设计切换信号,建立线性切换系统模型。在此基础上,设计状态跟踪控制方案解决过渡模式的控制问题。该方法不直接限制控制输入的幅值,而采用改进的光滑插值方法实现无扰切换。最后,以XV-15倾转旋翼机为例,验证该控制方案的有效性。
