his paper presents the development of envelope protection systems for unmanned rotorcraft systems using simulation models. Issues associated with unmanned autonomy and automatic limit avoidance systems are addressed. The integration of two types of modular envelope protection systems into a UAV's flight control system, namely envelope protection using command limiting and control limiting is discussed. The development of an envelope protection system as used in Georgia Tech's Yamaha R-Max unmanned helicopter (GTMax) is presented as an example.

Evaluation of rotorcraft system identification approaches Kaymak, Serkan; Tekinalp, Ozan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis addresses rotorcraft system identification approaches and estimating the stability and control parameters for linear system identification of a helicopter in hover. Output error and least square methods are used for the system identification. Inputs of the system identification analysis are obtained from the nonlinear helicopter model written in FLIGHTLAB commercial software environment. A linear helicopter model is used for identification. For validation, results obtained from identified helico...
Feedback motion planning of a novel fully actuated unmanned surface vehicle via sequential composition of random elliptical funnels Özdemir, Oğuz; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-12-27) This thesis proposes and analyzes a motion planning and control schema for unmanned surface vehicles that fuses sampling-based approaches’ probabilistic completeness with closed-loop approaches’ robustness. The Proposed schema is based on the sequential composition of elliptical funnels, and it consists of two stages: tree generation and motion control. For validation of the approach, we carried out experiments using both simulation and physical setup besides the mathematical analysis. In order to have a co...
Numerical Simulation of a Flexible X-Wing Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle Deng, S.; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, B. W.; Bijl, H.; Remes, B.; Xiao, T. (2017-07-01) Numerical simulations were performed to investigate the flowfield around a flexible flapping-wing micro air vehicle using an in-house-developed computational fluid dynamics solver. To include the dynamics of the flexible wings and its impact on the aerodynamic behavior of the micro air vehicle, the wing-deformation pattern during flapping was experimentally determined by a stereovision measurement. These data were subsequently interpolated to be employed as prescribed flapping kinematics in the numerical fl...

Real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation of electrical machine systems using FPGAs Üşenme, Serdar; Dilan, R.A.; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2009-11-18) This study focuses on the development an integrated software and hardware platform that is capable of performing real-time simulation of dynamic systems, including electrical machinery, for the purpose of hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS). The system to be controlled is first defined using a block diagram editor. The defined model is then compiled and downloaded onto an FPGA (¿Field Programmable Gate Array¿) based hardware platform, which is to interface with the controller under test and carry out the...
