Continuous Robust Control for Two-Dimensional Airfoils with Leading- and Trailing-Edge Flaps

yields a semiglobal asymptotic stability result, leading to rapid suppression of the plunging and pitching motions. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the performance of the multi-input/multi-output continuous robust control toward suppressing aeroelastic vibration and limit cycle oscillations at pre- and postflutter flight-speed regimes, even in the presence of bounded unknown external disturbance.
