A novel aircraft anti-skid brake control method based on runway maximum friction tracking algorithm

This article addresses a novel multiphase-based real-time optimal slip ratio tracking control problem of an aircraft antiskid braking system (ABS) based on the second-order sliding-mode approach. First, a comprehensive dynamic model of an aircraft ABS is established, in which the coupling mechanism of the longitudinal, the vertical, and the pitching dynamics of the aircraft are thoroughly considered. Second, for the aircraft ABS with high nonlinearity, since the measurements of aircraft velocity and acceleration cannot be transmitted to the aircraft ABS in time, the second-order sliding-mode differentiator (SMD) will be designed to estimate them simultaneously. Then, the optimal slip ratio signal, which formulates the maximum friction coefficient, will be updated based on the static friction coefficient model with real-time measured and estimated signals. Furthermore, a novel multiphase-based slip ratio regulation algorithm integrated with the second-order sliding-mode control strategy is proposed on the basis of runway characteristics to track the optimal slip ratio signal, which can not only stop the aircraft faster but prevent the mainwheel from final locking. Finally, the simulation results are presented to demonstrate that the aircraft antiskid braking algorithm proposed in this article can effectively prevent the mainwheel from locking under different runway conditions, and significantly improve the braking efficiency. 

Multiphase-Based Optimal Slip Ratio Tracking Control of Aircraft Antiskid Braking System via Second-Order Sliding-Mode Approach

Effects of landing gear layout on the safe rollout envelope of equipped–skid aircraft

Aircraft ground braking control is a complex time-varying dynamic problem, especially when there are unexpected disturbances from lateral wind or visual error. Therefore, under some extreme conditions, it is hard for the pilot to control aircraft braking as well as usual without assistant control. This paper solves this problem by proposing a novel assistant control for aircraft ground braking, mainly based on the pilot control model and the LPV theory. And in order to reflect the control characteristics of the pilot, the sensory and control-theoretic model were combined together for controller designing. To test the performance of proposed control method, a real time pilot-in-loop simulation system is constructed. According to experiment results, the proposed assistant control shows better performance than pilot control, for it not only help the pilot to resist disturbance, but also hardly run counter to the pilot’s intent.
