Abstract
An aeroservoelastic system can be described as a gridding-based linear parameter-varying (LPV) model, whose dynamic characteristics usually vary with the airspeed. Due to the high order of the system, it is necessary to perform order reduction on LPV models to overcome the control design challenges. However, when directly extending linear time-invariant (LTI) model order reduction technologies to the LPV system, states of the reduced-order LTI models generated separately at different grid points could be inconsistent. In this paper, a novel modal matching algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of state inconsistency by identifying the internal connection between the models at adjacent grid points. An oblique projection-based distance metric is defined to improve the reliability of the modal matching algorithm. The reduced-order LPV model constructed based on this method would have a high fidelity relative to the original model and a smooth interpolation performance between grid points. The proposed algorithm is applied to the X-56A aircraft, and numerical results show its effectiveness.
