A hybrid control scheme of adaptive and variable structure for flexible spacecraft

As for the control of flexible space structure, in order to get both good dynamic characteristics and good static characteristics, the hybrid control scheme that this paper is put forward with variable structure control method and intelligent adaptive control method. The planar motion of a flexible structure is concerned with, which consists of a rigid central body and a flexible beam attached to it. In view of typical control requirements, corresponding hybrid control scheme is developed. Finally, by comparing the simulation results of hybrid control scheme and variable structure control scheme, it is proved that both the dynamic characteristics and static characteristics of hybrid control scheme presented in this paper are excellent.
