Abstract

In this work a stochastic robustness analysis approach is used to compare the performances of two non-linear flutter suppression systems designed for stabilization of a wing-aileron lifting structure. A reduced order modelling approach based on an alternative aeroelastic beam finite element is presented and used for the flutter suppression systems design, which are driven by a simple adaptive controller and a sliding mode controller, respectively. A heuristic algorithm is used to determine the simple adaptive controller invariant parameters at the design point while a simple parametric study is performed to tune the sliding mode controller. The performances of each closed loop system are evaluated taking into account mass, stiffnesses, and aerodynamics uncertainties of the aeroelastic plant also considering the presence of discrete gust disturbances.
