SECTION I INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

Quadratic methodology was applied to the design of a pitch-axis load- relief control system for the C-5A aircraft. Predicted rms stresses due to wind gusts at the wing root were reduced by 50 percent, while stress rates were reduced by 31 percent. This was done without serious degradation of the handling quantities or the stability of the aircraft. Similar reductions in peak and steady-state stresses due to maneuvers were realized. Symmetric ailerons and the inboard elevator are driven by control signals from acceler- ometers and a gyro. One accelerometer and the gyro already exist in the stability augmentation system (SAS). The additional load improvement con- trol system (LICS) acceleiometers would be placed on outer wing panels.

The effectiveness of active control for effecting load improvement is summarized in Table I. Results are given for two systems. System I uses ailerons to reduce the loads, whereas System II uses spoilers in addition to

the ailerons. Table I shows that rms stress and stress rate can be reduced by 50 percent and 31 percent, respectively, using System 1. Peak and steady- state maneuvering stresses can be reduced by 43 percent of their nominally attained values using System I. System I requires one additional set of sen- sors to achieve the gust relief ir-provements cited. In the study conducted, virtually no improvement was obtained using additional sensors.

By using spoilers, performance could be improved as indicated for System II in Table I. For System n, use of a pilot-ope rated switch is recommended to activate the spoiler portion of the system. In normal use the spoilers would not be deflected; the performance would be that of System I. In rough air, the spoilers would be activated to achieve the results noted for System n. The spoilers would be biased at 10 degrees in this mode of operation.

SECTION n PROBLEM FORMULATION

DESIGN PROCEDURE

The design approach used is based on quadratic optimal control theory -- optimal with respect to u quadratic performance index subject to practical con- straints. The background for this methodology is given in References 1 and 2.

The design is accomplished by mlnlroizing a quadratic performance Index which weights mean square stresses, stress rates, model-following errors, control surface rates and control surface deflections. Simple compensation filters were included in the measurement constraints to improved bendlng- mode damping and handling qualities. The model-following errors were weighted to enforce good handling qualities.

The quadratic optimal design technique requires that the aircraft be modeled as a linear time-invariant plant representing a single flight condition:

There are two parts lu this problem. This first part Involves determining the full-state feedback [Equation (5)] . The second part involves constraining the feedback [Equation (4)] and is also known as the fixed-form optimal con- trol problem. The first part of the problem is discussed in Section HI. The simplified control law is discussed in Section IV.

AIRCRAFT MODEL

The design approach was applied to the pitch axis of the C-SA aircraft at one flight condition (FC-37) which is a low-altitude cruise condition with the following parameters:

• Gross weight - 593.154 lb (50* fuel. 50* cargo)

• Mach number - 0.533

• Altitude - 10.000 ft

• Dynamic pressure - 292 psf

• True airspeed - 577 fps

• Center-of-gravity location - 31< MAC

The general arrangement of the C-5A is shown in Figure 1. The spoilers being considered are the outboard spoilers (which consist of three panels). Figure 2 shows the locations of the sensors that will be considered in the con- trol synthesis.

The procedure described in Reference 3 was used to reduce a C-5A model to the form of Equation (1). The procedure included the quasi-elastic effects of bending modes neglected, as only the three most prominent modes were included in the design. The final designs were checked using a six-mode model.

The Lockheed date (listed in Ref. 4) for FC-37 were processed by the computer programs developed for s com '-configured vehicle (CCV) (Ref. 3). Satisfactory agreement with load allevla n and mode stabilization (LAMS) results (Ref. 5) was not achieved. Two errors in the processing program (Table 11-13 of Vol. II of Ref. 3) were found. After making these corrections, the results shown in Table n were obtained. Agreement is now considered to be sufficient for the intended purposes.

The notation used for column headings in Table n (e.g., LAMS-6) refers to the data source [LAMS (Ref. 5) or this contract] and the number of bending modes used. The number ru (shown in row 2) is used to convert 0 from rad/ sec to in/sec. It is equal to 0.6066 x 10~ .

The state vector, x, for optimal state feedback designs was (17 states):

XT - (W. e/Uj, ^ IIQ, llg, 1\V Tig, Tig. öa. öe , Pj. P2. Pg,

p4. p5. p6, wg)

where w is the rigid-body vertical velocity (in. /sec), ö/n, U- a normalized rigid-body pitch rate, rij is the first bending-mode coordinate. Tig is the sixth bending-mode coordinate, rig is the third-mode coordinate, 0 is symmetric aileron displacement, 0 is the inboard elevator displacement, p. through p- are wind distribution and lift growth states, and w is the vertical gust velocity.

The control input vector, u, contains the inputs to the actuator models (two controls):

RESPONSE SELECTION

The objective of the LICS design was to significantly reduce wing root stress and stress rate using active control without degrading the existing handling qualities. This reduction was to consider both maneuvering relief as well as gust-induced stresses. Therefore, the response vector, r. mini- mized was

rT - {BV s2. ßv i2, öa. öe. öa, Öe. B/t^) (10)

where s. is the stress at the wing root. Sg is the stress at a mid-wing panel, and d/ng is a model-following error. The model-following error represents the difference between the pitching moment equation of the aircraft and a rigid model with desired handling qualities. That is.

»/«a • (F2 - F2m) x (11)

where F2 Is the second row al the stability matrix F of the aircraft and F- is the second row of the stability matrix of the model. This row is given by

2m (F21m' F22m' 0 0' ^.ll.-" P2,17) (12)

Here. F21m and F22 are selected so that the desired short-period frequency and damping ratio are computed from

SECTION III OPTIMAL STATE FEEDBACK CONTROL

Optimal full-state feedback designs were obtained for various quadratic weighting selections on the responses of Equation (10). Not all responses were weighted} some were only monitored to ensure that they were not com- promised. This was especially true with 82 and 82, the mid-wing stress and stress rate.

The quadratic weights selected versus chronological designs are shown in Figure 3. Zero weights are not shown. The weights on 6 and e/n« are not shown, since they were held constant at 20 and 10' , respectively. These weights, as well as the initial weights (Iteration 1), were determined in previous designs with erroneous stress equations. The weights on 6. and e/n« were iteratively selected to constrain the rigid-body frequency and damping ratio. This was done with relatively little effect on stress control. Figures 4, 5, und 6 present the root mean square (rms) responses and rigid- body frequencies and damping ratios corresponding to the weights of Figure 3. The dashed lines represent responses which are not weighted. Table III lists the corresponding frequencies, damping ratios, and actuator root locations of 14 optimal (full-state feedback) control designs. The rationale used in the designs will now be discussed.

On iteration 1, the aileron actuator root was large (caused by a signifi- cant negative feedback of 6 to UQ ). Thus« the aileron rate weight, Qß , was increased for iteration 2. There was a corresponding increase in stress s.. In an attempt to simultaneously decrease 0 feedback and increase aileron effectiveness, the weight on aileron displacement, Qg , was removed for iteration 3. This had very little effect. Thus, for iteration 4, this weight was reinstated and the aileron rate weight, Qg . was increased further. The aileron feedback became positive and the stress increased} so, on the fifth iteration, the QA weight was cut in half. a

The Iteration 3 controller was quite acceptable, if the 0 feedback could be successfully eliminated later- during practicalization designs. Stress was reduced 67 percent on that iteration, and stress rate SO. 5 percent. The iteration 5 controller is a compromise, with a 49. S-percent reduction in stress and a 42. 3-percent reduction in stress rate.

In an attempt to reduce stress rate even more, the stress rate weight, Qg , was increased and Q^ was removed for iteration 6. Both stress and stress rate decreased, with a significant increase in bending-mode damping, although the model-following error, short-period damping ratio, and 0 feedback to UQ increased somewhat. This controller was also considered a candidate for practical design; however, from past experience, it was expected to lead to difficulty. Generally, practical measurements cannot produce this much bending-mude damping without excessive filtering. This is especially true when slow actuators are used.

Iterations 7 through 11 were further attempts to re'iuce stress. Finally, by deemphasizing reductions in stress rate, stress couid be reduced much more within the constraints of the actuator bandwidths. The stress rate weight, Qg , was removed by Iteration 12. However, the 0 feedback to UQ

was still high. Iterations 13 and 14 brought this feedback to within reason for practical design. The iteration 14 controller was also a candidate for practical design. With this controller, stress was reduced 67.8 percent and stress rate 36 percent, with small öa to u« feedback. wa

SECTION IV SIMPLIFIED FEEDBACK CONTROL

This section summarizes the LICS control design effort. The first set of controllers used ailerons and elevator and was based on a three-mode model. Both full-state and measurement feedback were evaluated (Table IV). Three of the 14 full-state feedback controllers were successfully simplified.

The second set of controllers also used aileron and elevator but was based on a six-mode model. .Both full-state and measurement feedback were evaluated (Table V).

The last set of controllers used spoilers and elevator with a three-mode model. Only full-state control was considered (Table VI).

With the iteration 3, 5, 6, and 14 controllers as baselines« practical designs were attempted using their respective quadratic weights and their optimal gains as starting points. The practical designs were attempted with different measurement complements. The candidate measurements are listed in Table VII.

T For most of the practical designs, the state vector, x , included 18 states:

The incrementing parameter, \, is equal to 1 for the optimal state feedback controller, and X. is equal to zero for the optimal measurement feedback controller.

The starting point (\ > 1) is found by using the optimal state feedback gains and the measurement matrix (augmented with direct measurements of states not necessarily measurable so M' exists):

K*(l) ' KM" (19)

The measurement constraints are applied gradually by stepping \ to zero. The matrix K (0) is the fixed-form solution and has the gain structure desired.

This procedure of "backing off" from the state feedback controller is illustrated in Figure 7 for the design of controller 14C (defined below). The same quadratic performance Index was minimized while the measurement constraints were gradually applied.

The cost J is minimized at each increment of \, with respect to the gains on the measurements. The gains are predicted for each increment. The minimization of J is the correction. The differences between the gradient norms before and after the corrections are also shown in Figure 7.

The practical designs are summarized in Table IV, except for the practicalization of the iteration 6 controller. In an attempt to practlcalize this controller using measurements 1, 2, 3, and 4, the rigid-body and first bending-mode frequencies and damping ratios became unacceptable, as their roots appeared to merge with actuator roots. The successful practical designs will now be discussed.

Succeeatal design« were achieved using iteration 3,5, and 14 controllers as baselines. Controller 8A had one more accelerometer measurement than SB. This accelerometer gained very little stress and stress rate reduction at the expense of overcontrolling ihe rigid body. It slightly improved mode 3 damping, with less damping on modes 1 and 6. On controller 5C, aileron feedbacks were permitted. This defined a prefllter for the actuator. There was an improvement over 5B in stress rate and stress Sj (not weighted) at the expense of bending-mode damping. The aft rate gyro was included in controller 5D, with some improvement over 5B in stress, stress rate, and mode damping.

Controller? 3A and 3B are based on the iteration 3 controller. On con- troller 3A. aileron feedbacks were allowed, with significant improvements in stress and stress rate at the expense of bending-mode damping.

Controller 14 practical controllers 14A, 14B, and 14C produced lower stress s j levels than the others. Stress rate levels were higher. On con- troller 14C, measurement 6 (lagged acceleration) increased bending-mode damping and lowered the short-period frequency. The short-period damping ratio was somewhat higher, however.

Controllers 5D, 3B, and 14C are the most desirable controllers from the bending- mode damping viewpoint, which could be Important for stability margins. Controller 3B is the least complex of the three; however, 14 C is only different by a lag network. Controller SD uses an extra sensor.

Table V summarizes the performance of two state-feedback and three practical controllers for a more complex model containing six bending modes. The results are not markedly different using a more complete model.

Table VI shows the effectiveness of spoiler controls in providing gust load relief. These are for state controls. Since full-state feedback was used, conservative depreciation was used from these answers to provide the numbers of Table I representing the results of simplified control.

Table VIII presents results for maneuvering load contrcl (MLC). The maneuver is a step column input that attains a steady-state value of 1.5 Incremental g.

The free aircraft does not use symmetric ailerons in the steady state. At +1.5 Incremental g, the wing root perturbation stress is -17,400 psi. The peak perturbation stress achieved during the transient for the step column input is -18,700 psi (row 1 of Table VIII).

Table VIII (row 3) shows that adding the spoiler to the free aircraft provides further reductions in both steady and peak wing root stresses.

Table VIII (row 4) shows that feedback provides attenuation of peak maneuvering stresses; but, of course, it can do no better than the free air* craft (with MLC ailerons) in the steady state at -»-1.5 incremental g.

SECTION V LICS FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAMS

The block diagram corresponding to simplified controller 14C (Table IV) Is shown in Figure 8. The MLC feedforward gain was computed to enforce the appropriate steady-state aileron surface deflection per g. At a single flight condition this was satisfactory. However« flight throughout the enve- lope would have required excessively complex scheduling because of the large variation in control column deflection per g with center-of-gravity variations. The system was then revised to provide maneuvering relief with a feedback control (Figure 9) using the Inputs to the aileron and elevator servos. The only feedforwards remaining are the existing mechanical links in the aircraft. Gains and time constants were not determined for this con- figuration.

Similarly, Figure 10 illustrates a possible functional block diagram of a system using the spoilers in addition to the aileron and elevator. The various gains shown were not determined.

System I (Figure 9) requires one additional pair of accelerometers in the wings as input sensors, and it makes use of the autopilot normal accel- erometers and the pitch augmentation rate sensors already on board the air- craft. System II (Figure 10) requires two additional pairs of dual accelerom- eters in each wing, and also requires the addition of dual-hydraulic servos to control the spoilers. A norm-rough weather switch is also required in the cockpit.

SECTION VI CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Results of the LICS study showed that rms wing root stress and stress rate can be reduced by factors of 50 percent and 31 percent, respectively, by using symmetric aileron and elevator control. However, two deficiencies become apparent;

• Handling qualities are degraded somewhat (this is noticeable when observing transients from step commands).

e No means for enforcing steady-state load relief are included.

At the time this report was being written, additional work had been done on the C-5A under contract from the Air Force.

Results from this study (Ref. 6) indicate that the handling qualities can be maintained with some loss in rms stress performance. The second deficiency can be corrected by at least two techniques:

e Integral control can be used to enforce steady-state load relief proportional to normal acceleration.

e Direct accelerometer-to-aileron feedback can be used to give steady-state load relief. A highpass network is used on the aileron input to wash out all other steady-state inputs.

In future studies it is recommended that wing torsion be considered.
