Twin Rotor Helicopter Model

Model description: 

The nonliear model for elevator subsystem is as follows:

$$ f(x,u) = \begin{bmatrix} x_2\\ \dfrac{1}{I}(-\tau_g \sin{x_1} +k_{gyro}(u_1x_6\cos{x_1})- B_{\psi} x_2 + a_1 x_3 ^2 + b_1 x_3 )\\ x_4 \\ \dfrac{1}{T_1^2}(u_1 -x_3-2T_1x_4)\\ x_6 \\ \dfrac{1}{I_{\phi}} \left(-B_{\phi}x_6 - \left[K_r \dfrac{T_{or}}{T_{pr}}u_1 + x_9\right] + a_2x_7^2 + b_2x_7\right) \\ x_8 \\ \dfrac{1}{T_2^2}(u_2 - x_7 -2T_2x_8)\\ \dfrac{1}{T_{pr}}\left[K_r \left(1- \dfrac{T_{or}}{T_{pr}}\right)u_1 - x_9\right]\\ \end{bmatrix},$$

where $x_1$ is the elevator angle, $x_5$ is azimuth angle, and $g(x)=\begin{pmatrix}x_1k_{\psi} + y_{\psi \circ} \\ x_2k_{\phi} + y_{\phi \circ }\end{pmatrix}$

$y_{\psi}$ Elevator angle read by sensor
$k_{\psi}$ Elevator constant
$y_{\psi \circ}$ Elevator angle offset
$y_{\phi}$ Azimuth angle read by the sensor
$k_{\phi}$ Azimuth constant
$y_{\phi \circ}$ Azimuth angle offset
$u_a$ Control coltage applied to rotors

AbstractDuring the last decades a considerable progress has been made in the design of stabilizing controllers for nonlinear systems with known and unknown model. Feedback linearization approach via coordinate transformation is considered to be useful to tackle the control problem. Usually however, feedback linearization control does not guarantee exact linearization and robustness in the presence of uncertainties. Meanwhile most of the results developed are applicable to single-input feedback-linearizable systems. In this paper in order to cope the model uncertainties of a non linearizable MIMO nonlinear system, a robust feedback linearization scheme based on Lyapunov function is proposed. To verify the validity and effectiveness of the designed method, the suggested technique is applied to a twin rotor system
