This study presents a technique for the state space representation of the aeroelastic models of smart structures. It was based on a rational approximation of the unsteady aerodynamic loads in the Laplace domain, which yielded state-space matrix equations of motion with constant coefficients. In this study, an aluminum plate-like structure with twenty-four surface bonded piezoelectric patches was considered. The unsteady aerodynamic loads acting on the structure were calculated for a range of reduced frequencies and a Mach number by using a linear two-dimensional Doublet-Lattice Method available in MSC/NASTRAN®. Those discrete air loads were approximated as rational functions of the Laplace variable by using one of the aerodynamic approximation schemes, Roger’s approximation, with least-squares method. Then the state space representation of the aeroelastic model was constructed by using the approximated air loads together with structural matrices. In order to verify the state space approach, the flutter characteristics of the plate-like structure were investigated and the results were compared to those obtained by MSC/NASTRAN® analysis.

Low-Level Hierarchical Multiscale Segmentation Statistics of Natural Images
Akbaş, Emre (2014-09-01)
This paper is aimed at obtaining the statistics as a probabilistic model pertaining to the geometric, topological and photometric structure of natural images. The image structure is represented by its segmentation graph derived from the low-level hierarchical multiscale image segmentation. We first estimate the statistics of a number of segmentation graph properties from a large number of images. Our estimates confirm some findings reported in the past work, as well as provide some new ones. We then obtain ...
Nonlinear Structural Coupling: Experimental Application
Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-02-06)
In this work, the nonlinear structural modification/coupling technique proposed recently by the authors is applied to a test system in order to study the applicability of the method to real structures. The technique is based on calculating the frequency response functions of a modified system from those of the original system and the dynamic stiffness matrix of the nonlinear modifying part. The modification can also be in the form of coupling a nonlinear system to the original system. The test system used i...
Spatial control of a smart beam

This study presents the design and implementation of a spatial H(infinity) controller for the active vibration control of a smart beam. The smart beam was modeled by assumed-modes method that results in a model including large number of resonant modes. The order of the model was reduced by direct model truncation and the model correction technique was applied to compensate the effect of the contribution of the out of range modes to the dynamics of the system. Additionally, spatial identification of the beam...
Constrained discrete-time optimal control of uncertain systems with adaptive Lyapunov redesign
ALTINTAS, Oguz Han; Turgut, Ali Emre (2021-01-01)
All rights reserved.In this paper, the conventional estimation-based receding horizon control paradigm is enhanced by using functional approximation, the adaptive modifications on state estimation and convex projection notion from optimization theory. The mathematical formalism of parameter adaptation and uncertainty estimation procedure are based on the redesign of optimal state estimation in discrete-time. By using Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that the online approximation of uncertainties acti...
Quantum aspects of the noncommutative Sine-Gordon model
Kürkcüoğlu, Seçkin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-09-01)
In this paper, we first use semi-classical methods to study quantum field theoretical aspects of the integrable noncommutative sine-Gordon model proposed in [hep-th/0406065]. In particular, we examine the fluctuations at quadratic order around the static kink solution using the background field method. We derive equations of motion for the fluctuations and argue that at O(θ2) the spectrum of fluctuations remains essentially the same as that of the corresponding commutative theory. We compute the one-loop tw...
