Edge computing aileron mechatronics using antiphase hysteresis Schmitt trigger for fast flutter suppression
摘要
An aileron is a crucial control surface for rolling. Any jitter or shaking caused by the aileron mechatronics could have catastrophic consequences for the aircraft’s stability, maneuverability, safety, and lifespan. This paper presents a robust solution in the form of a fast flutter suppression digital control logic of edge computing aileron mechatronics (ECAM). We have effectively eliminated passive and active oscillating response biases by integrating nonlinear functional parameters and an antiphase hysteresis Schmitt trigger. Our findings demonstrate that self-tuning nonlinear parameters can optimize stability, robustness, and accuracy. At the same time, the antiphase hysteresis Schmitt trigger effectively rejects flutters without the need for collaborative navigation and guidance. Our hardware-in-the-loop simulation results confirm that this approach can eliminate aircraft jitter and shaking while ensuring expected stability and maneuverability. In conclusion, this nonlinear aileron mechatronics with a Schmitt positive feedback mechanism is a highly effective solution for distributed flight control and active flutter rejection.
