Abstract
This article addresses the aperiodic sampled-data control problem for flexible spacecraft with stochastic actuator failures. Flexible spacecraft dynamics are approximated by a group of T-S fuzzy models due to strong nonlinearity, and the multi-stochastic failures of spacecraft are depicted by a time-continuous and state-discrete Markov chain. To reduce the design conservativeness, a membership-sampling-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (MSDLKF) is introduced to utilize the information of fuzzy membership functions and aperiodic sampling modes. Furthermore, a number of reliable fuzzy controllers are designed to obtain the exponential attitude stabilization under the circumstances of stochastic failures. At the same time, disturbance attenuation is ensured. The solution of the fuzzy controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In the end, an example of the practical flexible spacecraft system is given to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed fuzzy control methods.
