Nonlinear System Identification for Aeroelastic Systems with Application to Experimental Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Representation and identification of a nonlinear aeroelastic pitch-plunge system as a model of the Nonlinear AutoRegressive, Moving Average eXogenous (NARMAX) class is considered. A nonlinear difference equation describing this aircraft model is derived theoretically and shown to be of the NARMAX form. Identification methods for NARMAX models are applied to aeroelastic dynamics and its properties demonstrated via continuoustime simulations of experimental conditions. Simulation results show that (1) the outputs of the NARMAX model closely match those generated using continuous-time methods, and (2) NARMAX identification methods applied to aeroelastic dynamics provide accurate discrete-time parameter estimates. Application of NARMAX identification to experimental pitch-plunge dynamics data gives a high percent fit for cross-validated data.

متن کاملNonlinear Aeroelastic/Aeroservoelastic Modeling by Block-Oriented Identification
The investigation of aeroelastic/aeroservoelastic stability through flight testing is an essential part of aircraft certification. The stability boundary prediction is especially difficult when the instability is associated with nonlinearities in the dynamics. An approach is presented for the characterization of the nonlinear dynamics by noniterative identification algorithms. Two different blo...
متن کاملIdentification of a Nonlinear Aeroelastic Aircraft Wing Model
The “reverse path” spectral method, a frequency domain based nonlinear system identification technique, is considered for identifying nonlinear aeroelastic models. The method is based upon a multi-input/multi-output spectral conditioning process that mutually uncorrelates the linear and nonlinear components of the system response. Conditioned frequency response estimates derived from this proce...

The nonlinear system becomes an area with numerous investigations over the past decades. The conventional modal analysis could not be applied on nonlinear continuous system which makes it impossible to construct the reduced order models and obtain system response based on limited number of measurement points. Nonlinear normal modes provide a useful tool for extending modal analysis to nonlinea...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Centre Manifold Method for Limit Cycle Calculations of a Nonlinear Structural Wing
In this study the centre manifold is applied for reduction and limit cycle calculation of a highly nonlinear structural aeroelastic wing. The limit cycle is arisen from structural nonlinearity due to the large deflection of the wing. Results obtained by different orders of centre manifolds are compared with those obtained by time marching method (fourth-order Runge-Kutta method). These comparis...
