In this study, a gain scheduling H-infinity controller based on Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model was designed and applied to suppress the first out of plane bending vibration of a variable parameter smart beam equipped with Lead-Zirconium-Titanium (PZT) patches. This paper also introduces a novel LPV modelling technique which defalcates the zeros of the system. The controller design was carried out in three successive steps. In the first step, the variable parameter model of the beam with an added mass at its free end can rotate through a micro servo motor was experimentally obtained. In the second step, an original LPV model including the variable parameter model was obtained. Finally, H-infinity controller with gain scheduling was designed on LPV model. The obtained controller was then used both for simulations and experimental verifications. It was shown that in response to parameter changes in the system, the proposed controller is capable of suppressing the beam bending vibrations by also exhibiting a robust performance. In practice, the proposed LPV controller design strategy can be transacted for vibration control of aircraft wings, the parameters of which vary according to various load conditions changing in time and therefore deeply affects the passive characteristics of the system of interest.

Vibration Fatigue Analysis of a Cantilever Beam Using Different Fatigue Theories
Eldoğan, Yusuf; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2014-02-11)
In this study, vibration fatigue analysis of a cantilever beam is performed using an in-house numerical code. Finite element model (FEM) of the cantilever beam verified by tests is used for the analysis. Several vibration fatigue theories are used to obtain fatigue life of the cantilever beam for white noise random input and the results obtained are compared with each other. Fatigue life calculations are repeated for different damping ratios and the effect of damping ratio is studied. Moreover, using strain...
Flutter Optimization of a Wing-Engine System with Passive and Active Control Approaches
Asadi, Davood; Farsadi, Touraj; Kayran, Altan (2021-04-01)
In the present study, the flutter performance of a composite thin-walled beam wing-engine system is optimized by implementing two different control approaches: 1) passive open-loop and 2) active closed-loop control. Sequential quadratic programming and genetic algorithm methods are applied in the optimization process. In the passive control method, variable stiffness is acquired by constructing laminates of thin-walled beam with curvilinear fibers having prescribed paths. The goal is to exploit the desirabl...
Sliding mode control of linearly actuated nonlinear systems
Durmaz, Burak; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
This study covers the sliding mode control design for a class of nonlinear systems, where the control input affects the state of the system linearly as described by (d/dt)x=A(x)x+B(x)u+d(x). The main streamline of the study is the sliding surface design for the system. Since there is no systematic way of designing sliding surfaces for nonlinear systems, a moving sliding surface is designed such that its parameters are determined in an adaptive manner to cope with the nonlinearities of the system. This adapt...
Energy-based adaptive flight controller for improved coordinated longitudinal control
Kutlu, Aykut; Yayla, Metehan; Kutay, Ali Türker (2021-01-01)
In this study, we propose an adaptive longitudinal flight controller in the sequential loop closure framework using the energy principles. In contrary to traditional SISO classical control theory based flight control architectures, the proposed control is a MIMO controller where the elevator and throttle controls are used simultaneously to track the velocity and altitude commands. An energy management system works in conjunction with an outer loop adaptive controller to achieve the desired velocity and alti...
Active Vibration Suppression of a Smart Beam by Using a Fractional Order Control
Onat, Cem; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz (2011-06-22)
In this study, a fractional order controller was designed and experimentally applied for the active vibration suppression of a smart beam. The smart beam was a cantilever aluminium beam equipped with eight symmetrically located surface-bonded PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches which were used both as sensor and actuator. For this particular application, a group of PZT patches closed to the root of the beam was used as actuators in the bimorph configuration and a single patch was nominated as a sensor. Fr...
