17 Motivation: Flight Controls Validation of flight controls mainly relies on linear analysis tools and nonlinear (Monte Carlo) simulations. This approach generally works well but there are drawbacks: It is time consuming and requires many well-trained engineers. Linear analyses are valid over an infinitesimally small region of the state space. Linear analyses are not sufficient to understand truly nonlinear phenomenon, e.g. the falling leaf mode in the F/18 Hornet. Linear analyses are not applicable for adaptive control laws or systems with hard nonlinearities. There is a need for nonlinear analysis tools which provide quantitative performance/stability assessments over a provable region of the state space. 3/24
18 Our Perspective Linear analysis: provides a quick answer to a related, but different question: Q: How much gain and time-delay variation can be accommodated without undue performance degradation? A: (answers a different question) Here s a scatter plot of margins at 1000 trim conditions throughout envelope. Why does linear analysis have impact in nonlinear problems? Domain-specific expertise exists to interpret linear analysis and assess relevance. Speed, scalable: Fast, defensible answers on high-dimensional systems. Extend validity of the linearized analysis Infinitesimal local (with certified estimates) Address uncertainty 4/24
19 Overiew Numerical tools to quantify/certify dynamic behavior Locally, near equilibrium points Analysis considered Region-of-attraction, input/output gain, reachability, establishing local IQCs Methodology Enforce Lyapunov/Dissipation inequalities locally, on sublevel sets Set containments via S-procedure and SOS constraints Bilinear semi-definite programs Always feasible Simulation aids nonconvex proof/certificate search Address model uncertainty Parametric Uncertainty Parameter-independent Lyapunov/Storage functions Branch-&-Bound Dynamic Uncertainty Local small-gain theorems 5/24
20 Nonlinear Analysis Autonomous dynamics: ẋ = f(x), f( x) = 0 Equilibrium point Uncertain initial condition, x(0) = G Question: Do all solutions converge to x? Drive dynamics: ẋ = f(x, w), f( x, 0) = 0 Equilibrium point Uncertain inputs, w 2 R, w σ Question: How large can z = h(x) get? Uncertain dynamics: ẋ = f(x, δ), or ẋ = f(x, w, δ) Unknown, constant parameters, δ Unmodeled dynamics Same questions.... 6/24
21 Region-of-Attraction and Reachability Dynamics, equilibrium point ẋ = f(x), f( x) = 0 p : Analyst-defined function whose (well-understood) sub-level sets are to be in region-of-attraction. {x : p(x) β}, ROA N By choice of positive-definite V, maximize β so that {x : p(x) β} {x : V (x) 1} {x : V (x) 1} is bounded {x : x x, V (x) 1} { x : dv } dx f(x) < 0 Given a differential equation ẋ = f(x, w) and a positive definite function p, how large can e(t) get, knowing x(0) = 0, w 2 R? Conditions on R n+nw Conclusion on ODE ẋ = f(x, w), e = p(x) dv dx f(x, w) wt w on { x : V (x) R 2}, all w { x : V (x) R 2 } {x : p(x) β} x(0)0, w 2 R for allt, solution exists and e(t) β 7/24
22 Solution Approach 1. Sum-of-squares to (conservatively) enforce nonnegativity. f Σ if f = ΣG 2 i for some g i 2. Easy (semi-definite program) to check if a given polynomial is SOS 3. S-procedure to (conservatively) enforce set containment 4. Apply S-procedure to Analysis conditions. For (e.g.) reachability, minimize β (by choice of s i and V ) such that (β p) s 1 (R 2 V ) Σ x,w ( (R 2 V )s 2 + dv ) dx f(x, w) wt w Σ x,w 5. Semi-definite program iteration: Initialize V, then 5.1 Optimize objective by changing S-procedure multipliers 5.2 Optimize objective by changing V 5.3 Iterate on (5.1) and (5.2) 6. Initialization of V is important for the iteration to work 6.1 Simulation of system dynamics yields convex constraints which contain all feasible Lyapunov function candidates. This set can be sampled to initialize V. 8/24

24 F/A-18 Falling Leaf Motion The US Navy has lost many F/A-18 A/B/C/D Hornet aircraft due to an out-of-control flight departure described as the falling leaf mode. F/A-18 : NASA Dryden Photo The falling leaf mode can require 4.5K-6K m to recover. F/A-18 : NASA Dryden Photo Administrative action by NAVAIR to prevent further losses. Revised control law implemented deployed in , F/A-18E/F Uses ailerons to damp sideslip 10/24
25 Baseline/Revised Control Architecture (simplified) 11/24
26 Baseline vs Revised: Analysis Is revised better? Yes, several years service confirm but can this be ascertained with a model-based validation? Recall that Baseline underwent validation, yet had problems. Linearized Analysis: at equilibrium and several steady turn rates Classical loop-at-a-time margins Disk margin analysis (Nichols) Multivariable input disk-margin Diagonal input multiplicative uncertainty Full -block input multiplicative uncertainty Parametric stability margin (µ) using physically motivated uncertainty in 8 aero coefficients. Conclusion: Both designs have excellent (and nearly identical) linearized robustness margins trimmed across envelope. 12/24
27 Baseline vs Revised: Beyond Linearized Analysis Perform region-of-attraction estimate as described. Unfortunately, closed-loop models too complex (high dynamic order) for direct approach, at this time. Model approximation: Reduced state dimension (domain-specific simplifications) α β p q r φ x c Polynomial approximation of closed-loop dynamic models. 13/24

29 NASA Generic Transport Model (GTM) Aircraft NASA constructed the remote-controlled GTM aircraft for studying advanced safety technologies. The GTM is a 5.5 percent scale commercial aircraft. NASA created a high-fidelity 6DOF model of the GTM including look-up tables for the aerodynamic coefficients.

30 Reachable Sets For a nonlinear system ẋ = f(x, u), the vector x f R n is unit energy reachable if there exists a final time T and an input u(t) defined on [0, T ] satisyfing u 2 1 and that drives the state from x(0) = 0 to x(t ) = x f. The unit energy reachable set R ue is the set of points that are reachable from the origin with a unit energy. For linear systems this set is an ellipsoid that can be computed from a semidefinite programming problem. The size of the ellipsoid scales with the magnitude of the input energy. For nonlinear systems the this set can be difficult to compute and its size does not, in general, scale linearly with the magnitude of the input energy. Our approach is to approximate nonlinear models with polynomials and then estimate the size of this set with polynomial optmization tools. Knowledge of the reachable set for an aircraft can be used for dynamic flight envelope assessment. 16/24
31 Aircraft Longitudinal Axis Dynamics The aircraft longitudinal axis dynamics are described by: V = D + mg sin (θ α) T cos α m α = L mv + mg cos (θ α) T sin α + q q = M I yy θ = q States: air speed V (ft/sec), angle of attack α (deg), pitch rate q (deg/sec) and pitch angle θ (deg). Controls: elevator deflection δ elev (deg) and engine thrust T (lbs). Forces/Moment: drag force D (lbs), lift force L (lbs), and pitching moment M (lbs-ft). 17/24
32 GTM Polynomial Modeling Aerodynamic look-up table data, engine data, trigonometric functions, and 1/V with low-order polynomials were fit. Resulting model is a 7th order polynomial. Two facts for obtaining accurate models: The raw aerodynamic data is provided in body-axes but better fits can be obtained in wind axes. Matching the trim characteristics requires very accurate fits at low angles of attack CLa 0.5 CDa Lookup Table Poly Fit 0.5 Lookup Table Poly Fit alpha (deg) alpha (deg) 18/24

34 Computing Reachable Set Estimates We approximate the reachable set by an ellipsoid of the form ˆR β := {x : (x x trim ) T N(x x trim ) β} where N reflects a scaling of the coordinates. x := [V (ft/sec), α (rad), q (rad/sec), θ (rad) ] x trim := [ 150 ft/sec, rad, 0 rad/sec, rad ] N := diag([ 50 ft/sec, 0.35 rad, 0.87 rad/sec, 0.35 rad ]) 2 Upper bounds: β(γ) := min u 2 γ β subject to R ue ˆR β For polynomial systems this computation takes the form of an iteration involving polynomial (sum-of-squares) optimizations that are converted into semidefinte programs. Lower bounds: β(γ) := max u 2 γ(x x trim ) T N(x x trim ). One method is a power-method iteration [Tierno, et. al., 1997] Another method is to simulate the nonlinear system with the exact (scaled) worst-case input for the linearized system. The exact reachable set for the linearization can be computed and this can be used to compute the maximal value of (x x trim ) T N(x x trim ). 20/24
35 Reachability Results The size of the reachable set depends on the input energy. Upper bounds are shown in red, lower bounds in blue, and the linear approximation is in black. 0.7 β (reachable set ellipsoid bound) nonlinear(quadratic) linear 0.1 nonlinear (lowerbound) nonlinear(quartic) nonlinear(lower bound,wcinput) γ (input energy) 21/24
