Abstract
This paper presents a methodology to combine a rigid-body and non-linear aerodynamic model of a hypersonic entry vehicle and provide bounds on the entry conditions required to ensure the vehicle maintains its attitude within prescribed limits. The non-linear aerodynamic model is based on parametric fits of the vehicle’s aerodynamic coefficients found using the computation tools US3D and MGDS. The vehicle’s equations of motion are separated into a nominal, linear time-invariant portion and a sector-bounded static memoryless non-linearity. Properties of the non-linearity are exploited to quantify the vehicle’s dynamic stability using integral quadratic constraint theory. Numerical results demonstrate that the non-linear aerodynamic model can be accounted for when assessing dynamic stability.
