Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and flight control technology, specifically to a method for establishing an ultra-low-dimensional aero-servoelastic model for a flying wing aircraft used for flutter control. Background Technology
[0002] Flying wing aircraft, due to their superior aerodynamic efficiency and stealth capabilities, have become an important development direction in the modern aviation field. However, because these aircraft eliminate the traditional tail, their structures are highly flexible. Their rigid body flight mechanical modes (such as heave and pitch) are prone to coupling with the low-order elastic modes of the wing (such as bending and torsion), inducing an aeroelastic instability phenomenon known as rigid-elastic coupled flutter. This can lead to catastrophic structural damage at speeds far below those of traditional bending-torsional flutter, seriously threatening flight safety.
[0003] Existing research methods for rigid-elastic coupled flutter can be mainly divided into two categories: one is high-fidelity coupled simulation based on computational fluid dynamics and computational structural dynamics. This method has high accuracy but the model is complex and the computational cost is huge, making it difficult to use for rapid analysis and control design iteration; the other is a complex modeling method based on analytical mechanics and multibody dynamics. Although it can reveal some mechanisms, the model often still has many degrees of freedom, which is not conducive to guiding structural parametric design and aeroelastic optimization in the early stages of aircraft design.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an ultra-low-dimensional aerodynamic servo-elastic model for flutter control of flying-wing aircraft that can accurately capture the physical nature of rigid-elastic coupling flutter in flying-wing aircraft, has extremely high computational efficiency, and is easy to design controllers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an ultra-low-dimensional aerodynamic servo-elastic model for flutter control of flying-wing aircraft. This model equates the complex continuum aircraft structure to a five-degree-of-freedom mechanical model, forming a complete state-space model that can be used for time-domain simulation and stability analysis. It can be used for parametric analysis and aeroelastic optimization of flying-wing aircraft structures, and lays the foundation for the design and verification of active flutter suppression controllers.
