  • Abstract
    A Failure Detection, Identification and Reconfiguration (FDIR) control scheme is developed for a dynamic model of the Delta Clipper-Experimental (DC-X) single stage to orbit rocket concept. The six degree of freedom, redundantly actuated model provides a well-suited test case for designing a fault-tolerant controller for actuators with different response rates. the reconfigurable controller maintains the desired closed-loop performance. Robustness of the system was demonstrated under a large number of different single and multiple failure cases.
