A Data-Based Approach for Modeling and Analysis of Vehicle Collision by LPV-ARMAX Models

Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Applied Mathematics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/452391 Open Access Vehicle crash test is considered to be the most direct and common approach to assess the vehicle crashworthiness. However, it suffers from the drawbacks of high experiment cost and huge time consumption. Therefore, the establishment of a mathematical model of vehicle crash which can simplify the analysis process is significantly attractive. In this paper, we present the application of LPV-ARMAX model to simulate the car-to-pole collision with different initial impact velocities. The parameters of the LPV-ARMAX are assumed to …

Data-based modeling of vehicle collision by LPV-ARMAX model approach

Vehicle crash are considered to be events with high complexity from the mathematical points of view. The high experiment cost and huge time-consumption make the establishment of a mathematical model of vehicle crash which can simplify the analysis process in great demand. In this work, we present the application of LPV-ARMAX model to simulate the car-to-pole collision with different initial impact velocities. The parameters of the LPV-ARMAX are assumed to be functions of the initial impact velocities. Instead of establishing a set of LTI models for vehicle crashes with various impact velocities, the LPV-ARMAX model is comparatively simple and applicable to predict the responses of new colli…

Reference tracking control of hypersonic vehicles using switched linear parameter-varying approach

This paper is concerned with the control problem of the air-breathing hypersonic vehicle using switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems approach. By linearizing the nonlinear model of the hypersonic vehicle at trim points and dividing the velocity scope into several partitions, a switched LPV model for the underlying systems is derived. With aid of multiple Lyapunov-like functions technique, the controllers ensuring the tracking of given commands of the closed-loop system are designed under the mode-independent and mode-dependent switching logics, respectively. Simulation results for the hypersonic vehicle show the effectiveness of the proposed method and the advantages of the mode-d…

Control design for a hypersonic aircraft using a switched linear parameter-varying system approach

This paper is concerned with the control problem of an air-breathing hypersonic aircraft using a switched linear-parameter-varying systems approach. The rigid non-linear longitudinal model of a generic hypersonic aircraft is adopted with the aim of verifying the design methodology of the developed controller and switching logic. By linearizing the non-linear model of the hypersonic aircraft at trim points and dividing the velocity range into several parts, a switched linear parameter-varying model for the underlying system is derived. With the aid of multiple Lyapunov-like functions technique, controllers that ensure the tracking of given commands of the closed-loop system are designed und…

Stability analysis and controller design for a class of T-S fuzzy Markov jump system with uncertain expectation of packet dropouts

This paper is concerned with an H∞ control for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy Markov jump system under unreliable communication links. It is assumed that the transition probabilities determining the dynamical behavior of the underlying system are partially unknown and the communication links between the plant and the controller are imperfect (the packet dropouts occur intermittently). In this paper, a more practical scenario is considered in the setting, i.e., the expectation of packet losses represented as a description of Bernoulli-distributed stochastic process is uncertain. Attention is focused on the design of H∞ controllers such that the closed-loop system is stochastically stab…
