Nonlinear Control of a Prototypical Wing Section with Torsional Nonlinearity

From MaRDI portal





In this very important work, active control of the aeroelastic response is examined and, in particular, appropriate control strategies for nonlinear systems are addressed. The nonlinear control laws for aeroelastic systems that include polynomial structural nonlinearities are investigated. Moreover the closed-loop stability of the system is studied. It is shown that locally asymptotically stable (nonlinear) feedback controllers can be derived for the aeroelastic system using partial feedback linearization techniques. The stability results (for this case) are necessarily local in nature and are derived by considering stability of the associated zero dynamics subsystem. It is also demonstrated that global (nonlinear) adaptive control methods can be derived for a class of aeroelastic systems under consideration. Finally, numerical simulations are used to provide empirical validation of some of the results.
