© 2016, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.This paper investigates the use of a passive control device, tuned mass damper (TMD) for the control of vibrations of a simplified wind turbine. In the wind turbine model, tower and blades are modeled with continuous beam structure. Concentrated mass is considered as the nacelle. TMD system is placed at top of tower and attached to the nacelle. The coupled governing equation of motions and associated boundary conditions for the tower and the blades are obtained based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. In the present study, centrifugal force of blades due to rotation, lateral acceleration of the nacelle, self-weight and moment of inertia of nacelle and tower are considered in the analysis and aerodynamics loads are excluded in the analysis. Applying the Galerkin’s method with two admissible functions, the solution of the governing equations is obtained. In first part of the article, the coupled natural frequencies and mode shapes of wind turbine without TMD are calculated for various angular velocities of the blade. In the second part, it is shown how the TMD uniformly damps out the vibration of the selected coupled tower and blades mode.

Implementation of ball-center spring analogy mesh deformation technique with CFD design optimization Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan (2015-01-01) © 2015, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Mesh deformation technique plays an important role in several numerical simulations and applications including design optimization. This paper aims to implement the developed unstructured mesh deformation technique for CFD Design Optimization around 2-D Airfoils. During the optimization procedure, the newly deformed mesh is generated by using the updated Ball-Center Spring analogy mesh deformation technique. The compar...
Spin-axis tilt estimation for spinning spacecraft Söken, Halil Ersin; Asamura, Kazushi; Nakamura, Yosuke; Takashima, Takeshi (2016-01-01) © 2016 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.The spin-axis tilt, which is also known as dynamic imbalance or coning error, is one of the most significant bias errors deteriorating the attitude determination accuracy for spinning spacecrafts. Although it is a common practical issue for spin spacecraft missions, estimation algorithms for the dynamic imbalance have not been studied and issued well. This paper proposes a simple algorithm for spin-axis tilt estimation....
A multi-fidelity, multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization framework for the design of morphing UAV wings Ciarella, Andrea; Tsotskas, Christos; Hahn, Marco; Werter, Noud P. M.; De Breuker, Roeland; Beaverstock, Chris S.; Friswell, Michael I.; Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan; Antoniadis, Antonios; Tsoutsanis, Panagiotis; Drikakis, Dimitris (null; 2015-01-01) © 2015 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.A framework for the design and optimization of a morphing wing is presented. It allows the user to simplify the design process of a morphing UAV wing with a simple and effective interface with the possibility to easily switch between flight phases and morphing concepts. It consists of two main solvers: a high-fidelity CFD module for detailed RANS simulation and a fast low-fidelity module that solves the aeroelastic prob...
Aerodynamic optimization of wing-body configuration using discrete adjoint method Yıldırım, Ahmet; Eyi, Sinan (2017-01-01) © 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.The gradient based sensitivities required by design optimization are obtained by three different methods based on three dimensional Euler equations. Finite difference, Direct and Adjoint methods are used to compute objective sensitivities. A cell centered, upwind based finite volume method is implemented to discretize the Euler equations. The flow solution is obtained by preconditioned matrix-free Newton-GMRES algorith...
Aerodynamic parameter estimation of a supersonic air to air missile with rapid speed variation Bayoglu, Tugba; Nalci, Mehmet Ozan; Kutay, Ali Türker (2016-01-01) © 2016 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.Maneuver inputs designed for aircraft parameter identification are often applied during the aircraft flies close to a trimmed flight condition at an approximately constant Mach number. Since a fixed wing aircraft has control over its thrust and speed, various maneuver inputs can be applied to identify aerodynamic derivatives at discrete Mach numbers. On the contrary, most agile missile configurations do not have contr...
