dc.description.abstractPresence of uncertainties caused by unforeseen malfunctions in actuation system or changes in aircraft behaviour could lead to aircraft loss-of-control during flight. The paper presents Two-Layer Adaptive augmentation for Incremental Backstepping (TLA-IBKS) control algorithm designed for a large transport aircraft. IBKS uses angular accelerations and current control deflections to reduce the dependency on the aircraft model. However, it requires knowledge of control effectiveness. The proposed technique is capable to detect possible failures for an overactuated system. At the first layer, the system performs monitoring of a combined effectiveness and detects possible failures via an innovation process. If a problem is detected the algorithm initiates the second-layer algorithm for adaptation of effectiveness of individual control effectors. Filippov generalization for nonlinear differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides is utilized to develop Lyapunov based tuning function adaptive law for the second layer adaptation and to prove uniform asymptotic stability of the resultant closed-loop system. Conducted simulation manifests that if the input-affine property of the IBKS is violated, e.g., in severe conditions with a combination of multiple failures, the IBKS can lose stability. Meanwhile, the proposed TLA-IBKS algorithm demonstrates improved stability and tracking performance.en_UK
