Optimal Control of LCOs in Aero-Structural Systems Having your (nonlinear) cake and eating it too

چکیده
Aero-elastic systems, by their very nonlinear nature, frequently encounter Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCOs). An LCO occurs when the system being described reaches a periodic steady state where there is a constant exchange of energy between the various degrees of freedom, in this case: the Aero and Structural components. These LCOs might be benevolent at times, but are not so in most cases. In this paper we study Active and Passive Control Strategies for LCOs and explore the possibility of harnessing the nonlinearities to our benefit. After defining a control approach based on Optimal Control Theory, we study the specific case of a nonlinear panel interacting with a supersonic flow and undergoing LCOs, and tailor the system parameters to achieve the desired control objectives.

متن کاملOptimal Control of Nonlinear Multivariable Systems
This paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. An appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. In this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (IOFL). Then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated ...
متن کاملFriction Compensation for Dynamic and Static Models Using Nonlinear Adaptive Optimal Technique
Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon which has destructive effects on performance of control systems. To obviate these effects, friction compensation is an effectual solution. In this paper, an adaptive technique is proposed in order to eliminate limit cycles as one of the undesired behaviors due to presence of friction in control systems which happen frequently. The proposed approach works for n...
متن کاملHaving Your Cake and Eating It Too: Jointly Optimal Erasure Codes for I/O, Storage, and Network-bandwidth
Erasure codes, such as Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, are increasingly being deployed as an alternative to datareplication for fault tolerance in distributed storage systems. While RS codes provide significant savings in storage space, they can impose a huge burden on the I/O and network resources when reconstructing failed or otherwise unavailable data. A recent class of erasure codes, called minimu...
متن کاملOptimal nonlinear control of flight faults in manned aircrafts in the presence of fault and failure of control actuato
Control actuators' faults are among the major reasons to lose aircraft control while flights. The plane dynamics is severely dependent upon faults and errors in flight control systems and if the reformed control order is not issued by the fault tolerant controller there would be unpleasant outcomes such as inconsistency and the reduction of system performance and some dreadful aerial accide...
