Boundary Backstepping Control of Flow-Induced Vibrations of a Membrane at High Mach Numbers

We design a controller for flow-induced vibrations of an infinite-band membrane, with flow running across the band and only above it, and with actuation only on the trailing edge of the membrane. Due to the infinite length of the membrane, the dynamics of the membrane in the spanwise direction are neglected, namely, we employ a one-dimensional (1D) model that focuses on streamwise vibrations. This framework is inspired by a flow along an airplane wing with actuation on the trailing edge. The model of the flowinduced vibration is given by a wave partial differential equation (PDE) with an antidamping term throughout the 1D domain. Such a model is based on linear aeroelastic theory for Mach numbers above 0.8. To design a controller, we introduce a three-stage backstepping transformation. The first stage gets the system to a critically antidamped wave equation, changing the stiffness coefficient’s value but not its sign. The second stage changes the system from a critically antidamped to a critically damped equation with an arbitrary damping coefficient. The third stage adjusts stiffness arbitrarily. The controller and backstepping transformation map the original system into a target system given by a wave equation with arbitrary positive damping and stiffness. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4029468]
