Abstract
In this paper, a robust output feedback control design is developed for suppression of aeroelastic vibration of a 2-DOF nonlinear wing section system. The aeroelastic system operates in a quasi-steady aerodynamic incompressible flowfield and is actuated using a combination of a leading-edge (LE) and a trailing-edge (TE) flap. By only utilizing measurements of pitching and plunging deflections, an innovative Lyapunov-based procedure is used to design sliding mode control inputs for the LE and TE control surface deflections. The closed-loop system is shown to have semi-global asymptotic stability even in the presence of model uncertainty and unknown external gust loading. Extensive simulation results under a variety of scenarios show the effectiveness of the control strategy.
