Abstract

The focus is on obtaining and identifying optimal distributed- parameter-control equivalent actuation profiles for desired roll maneuvers by a modal synthesis approach. The solution for distributed-parameter-control of an aeroelastic system is developed by synthesis of modal-state-space controllers designed via the globally power optimal Independent Modal- Space Control (IMSC) technique. The desired maneuver (set- point) control performance is achieved by a modal-performance- output synthesis (MPOS) approach. The MPOS approach requires that each independent modal controller be allocated a desired portion of the total desired output performance. In view of this, a modal performance-output allocation optimization problem is also defined, which minimizes a hybrid measure of control power and elastic strain energy of the structure during aeroelastic control. Insight to distributed-parameter- control equivalent actuation solutions are sought by considering the aeroservoelastic interactions among vehicle motion, aerodynamics, structural flexibility and control actuators from the perspective of work-energy, control power, and control loading requirements. The modal synthesis approach is illustrated for a flight vehicle wing design to achieve a 90 deg/sec roll-rate in a Mach 2 flight condition at altitude (20000 ft) via distributed-parameter equivalent actuation. The preliminary results indicate that such a roll-rate maneuver can be accomplished via distributed-parameter actuation with feasible levels of control power, work-energy, and control loadings through eliciting favorable aeroservoelastic interactions.
