Pilot-induced oscillation suppression by using \(L_1\) adaptive control (Q446460)

Summary: Despite significant technical advances, Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) continues to occur in both flight tests and operational aircrafts. Such a phenomenon has led to significant research activities that aim to alleviate this problem. In this paper, the \(L_{1}\) adaptive controller has been introduced to suppress the PIO, which is caused by rate limiting and pure time delay. Due to its architecture, the \(L_{1}\) adaptive controller achieves a desired response with fast adaptation. The analysis of PIO and its suppression by \(L_{1}\) adaptive controller are presented in detail in the paper. The simulation results indicate that the \(L_{1}\) adaptive control is efficient in solving this kind of problem.
