Summary:Flex Nozzle Control (FNC) system uses Electro Mechanical Actuators (EMAs) to deflect the rocket nozzle for precise steering of a launch vehicle. The servo analysis and linear modeling of the electromechanical actuation based FNC system are carried out to design a compensation scheme based on the closed loop specifications. Friction plays a crucial role in the high accuracy control of the system using the EMA. A frictional model of the system is developed considering both Coulomb friction and Stiction. An estimator based on I-Ching Algorithm is proposed in this paper, to estimate the unknown Coulomb friction in the system. The estimation is formulated as an optimization problem with the objective of finding a parameter value that minimizes the error between the plant and model outputs. A feedforward controller for friction compensation is also proposed in this paper.The closed loop behavior of the system is evaluated using MATLAB/SIMULINK as the simulation tool.
