Methods of intelligent diagnosis for control of flexible moving craft

A new approach to the control of moving flexible mechanical systems based on the methods of intelligent diagnosis and forecast was proposed. While observing the requirements on stability and performance of control of the main (“rigid”) craft motion, this approach also stabilizes its elastic oscillations. A notion of the “model” function of the effect of basic control on the elastic oscillations in the presence of the dominating mode was introduced. The loop for adaptive adjustment of the basic algorithm of power-optimal control of the flexible craft motion was designed. For the proposed method of control of the elastic multifrequency moving craft such as the large space structure, some results of modeling were presented.
