The configuration change will impact the dynamic performance of the unmanned platform, posing a challenge to the performance of the existing control strategy based on mathematical model development. In order to address the aforementioned issues, this paper analyzes the impact of changes in vehicle configuration on steering gain and proposes a hierarchical adaptive differential steering strategy based on variable vehicle configurations. Firstly, the response characteristics of the yaw angle relative to the active yaw moment under the influence of changes in wheelbase and tread are analyzed. Based on this analysis, two structural modes, maneuverable and balanced, are selected. Secondly, a localized-modelling sliding mode control method with an extended state observer is proposed to estimate the desired yaw moment in the upper controller, considering the motor's execution delay. Then, the lower controller optimizes the torque of each wheel in real-time using the whale optimization algorithm. It aims to optimize tire energy dissipation and tire load rate while ensuring driving stability and achieving differential steering. Finally, through co-simulation and experiments on a scaled prototype, the reliability of the dynamics theory and the superiority of the control algorithm are validated. This optimization has led to significant improvements in the tire dissipation energy index and tire load rate index.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14660,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":"151 ","pages":"Pages 391-408"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141274911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when the digital valve array is driven by a digital signal, it is difficult to optimally assign the signal pulses to each valve. If the assignment is not well executed, it can significantly reduce the switching uniformity of the digital valves or lead to performance degradation of the system. In this paper, a model-based sliding mode control strategy based on the intelligent distribution of control law is proposed and successfully applied to a proportional valve driven by digital valve arrays. The intelligent distribution strategy encompasses a logic distribution algorithm and a circular sliding distribution algorithm that automatically assigns control laws to different valves based on the rolling of the PWM signal cycle. Experimental results confirm that the proposed strategy not only simultaneously reduces the total number of valve switches and enhances the switching uniformity among the valves, but also adapts to the variation in the number of valves. The proposed strategy is not limited to the application of digital valve arrays, it is also applicable in other fields of multi-actuators driven by digital signals, and can simultaneously improve the control accuracy, lifetime, and maintenance friendliness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14660,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":"151 ","pages":"Pages 312-323"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141048565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
