Description
Summary:The Euler dynamical equation which describes the attitude motion of a rigid body will exhibit very complex dynamic behaviors under the action of different external torques. Many special types of new chaotic attractors are presented, including hidden attractors, double-body-double-core chaotic attractors, and single-body-three-core-tree-wing chaotic attractors. The position of equilibrium points in several typical cases of the Euler dynamic equation is solved, and the stability of linearized equation at each equilibrium point and its influence on the formation of the chaotic attractor are analyzed. An improved nonlinear relay control law based on Euler angle feedback is developed to stabilize a new chaotic spacecraft attitude motion to an appointed equilibrium point or a periodic orbit.
