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 desirable fiber paths with improved flutter performance to determine an optimized wing-engine aeroelastic configuration. In the active control strategy, piezo-composite actuators and the linear quadratic Gaussian algorithm are used to improve the flutter characteristics. A novel optimization strategy based on the total energy of the aeroelastic system is introduced and applied in both passive and active control strategies. The minimum total aeroelastic energy is an indication of ideal optimization variables, which leads to optimum flutter performance. The governing equations are formulated based on Librescu's thin-walled beam theory and Hamilton's principle. An unsteady aerodynamic model based on incompressible indicial aerodynamics is applied. The governing equations of motion are solved using a Ritz-based solution methodology. Numerical results demonstrate a 16 and 46% improvement in the flutter speed of the wing-engine system using the proposed passive and active control approaches, respectively. The presented results provide valuable information concerning the design of advanced lightweight and high-aspect-ratio aircraft wings with mounted engines in terms of favorable aeroelastic performance characteristics.

Real-Time Detection of Interharmonics and Harmonics of AC Electric Arc Furnaces on GPU Framework Uz-Logoglu, Eda; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2017-10-05) In this paper, a method based on the multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis is recommended and implemented to detect time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of rapidly fluctuating asymmetrical industrial loads. The experimental work has been carried out on a typical three-phase alternating current arc furnace (AC EAF) installation. In the recommended method, the reference frame is rotated in both directions at speeds corresponding to the positive and negative sequences of all harmonics and a...
Vibration control of a smart piezo beam via gain scheduling H-infinity controller based on LPV model TURAN, ABDULLAH; Şahin, Melin; ONAT, CEM (2021-01-01) 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 ...

Beforehand obtaining a safety operation condition by using daily load curves in transient stability and graphical software for transient stability applications Öztop, Celal; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, relationship between two most important transient stability indices, critical clearing time and generator rotor angle is examined for one machine-infinite bus system and then extended to the multimachine case and is observed to be linear. By using the linear relationship between critical clearing time and generator rotor angle and utilizing the daily load curve, a new preventive method is proposed. The aim of this method is to make all critical clearing times longer than the relay and circui...
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...
