Analysis of piecewise linear aeroelastic systems using numerical continuation

Analysis of Piecewise Linear Aeroelastic Systems Using Numerical Continuation

This paper demonstrates the application of a numerical continuation method to dynamic piecewise aeroelastic systems. The aeroelastic system is initially converted into a state space form, and then into a set of equations which solve the system as the motion moves between different linear zones in a freeplay motion. Once an initial condition is found that satisfies these sets of equations a cont...

Numerical solution of linear control systems using interpolation scaling functions

The current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.The method is based on Galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. For a highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix for the derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Several test problems are given...

Numerical aeroelastic analysis of wind turbine NREL Phase VI Rotor

This study investigated the performance and aeroelastic characteristics of a wind turbine blade based on strongly coupled approach (two-way fluid structure interaction) to simulate the transient FSI[1] responses of HAWT[2]. Aerodynamic response was obtained by 3D CFD-URANS approach and structural response was obtained by 3D Finite element method. ...
