A Novel Fuzzy-SAE Control Method for an Improved Test Wind Tunnel Simulating Sand/Dust Environment

The sand/dust environment is an important cause of aircraft failure. A sand/dust environment simulation experiment must be devised to meet the standard technical requirements. Therefore, this article designs the control system for a sand/dust environment test tunnel, including a wind speed control system and a pneumatic conveying and concentration control system. A fuzzy intelligent control method and a deep neural network are used to track and control experimental parameters. Compared to the classic PID algorithm, this method achieves smaller overshoot, faster response speed, no steady error and a better dynamic response curve, as demonstrated by both the test result in the wind tunnel and a simulation result. Both the classic PID control method and the high-precision fuzzy control method are fast, stable, and robust. The fuzzy-SAE intelligent control method not only has the high accuracy of the classic PID control method but also has the high speed, stability, and robustness of fuzzy control, which can meet the intelligent control requirements of the sand/dust environment test equipment.
