Aerodynamic Control of a Vehicle with Flexible Longitudinal Mode by Edward
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of flexible mode control implemented through the use of aerodynamic surfaces is examined for two case vehicles: a magnetically levitated vehicle and a towed aerodynamic vehicle. A summary of the aerodynamics of trapezdoial and annular wings is presented first, followed by an analysis of the modal characteristics of the test vehicles. LQR design methods using the flexible mode and its rate as states are then applied to both cases, with damping of the flexible mode as the result. Modal control is concluded to be an effective and viable method controlling the flexibility of a vehicle. Thesis Supervisor: Eugene E. Covert Title: T.
