Attitude and Vibration Control of a Flexible Spacecraft Using Hybrid Adaptive Super-Twisting Non-Singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control

Valiollah Shahbahrami; Milad َAzimi; َAlireza Alikhani

Volume 16, Issue 4 , December 2023, , Pages 1-13

Abstract
  In this paper, a robust adaptive hybrid control approach based on a combination of super-twisting and non-singular terminal sliding mode control (STNSMC) approaches for vibration and attitude control of a flexible spacecraft with fully coupled dynamic is developed. The proposed adaptation law eliminates ...  Read More

Integrated Guidance and Control Design by Combining Backstepping and Sliding Mode Control Methods

Reza Yavari; Iman Mohammadzaman; Mohammad Reza Arvan

Volume 9, Issue 4 , April 2017, , Pages 39-50

Abstract
  In this paper, a novel integrated guidance and control (IGC) approach is designed using the combination of backstepping and sliding mode control methods. In contrast to the traditional methods combining the kinematic and dynamic equations and deriving a state space model as an integrated unit model, ...  Read More

A New Backstepping Sliding Mode Guidance Law Considering Control Loop Dynamics

Vahid Behnamgol; Ahmad Reza Vali; Ali Mohammadi

Volume 8, Issue 4 , January 2016, , Pages 9-17

Abstract
  In this paper, a new procedure for designing the guidance law considering the control loop dynamics is proposed. The nonlinear guidance loop entailing a first order lag as the control loop dynamics is formulated. A new finite time and smooth backstepping sliding mode control scheme is used to guarantee ...  Read More

Flexible Spacecraft Three Axis Attitude Maneuver by Active Vibration Control

M. Sayanjali; J. Roshanian; A. Ghafari

Volume 2, Issue 1 , April 2009, , Pages 43-50

Abstract
  In this paper, equation of motion of three axis attitude dynamic of flexible spacecraft is derived using combination of finite element method and Euler equation. Flexible appendafes are modeled by beam elements. Goal of control is target attitude of spacecraft from initial state to desired attitude and ...  Read More
