Real-Time Ground Aeroservoelastic Test for Slender Vehicles Based on Condensed Aerodynamic Force Loading

Resumen

Slender vehicles often encounter significant aeroservoelastic challenges due to their low elastic mode frequencies and wide servo control system bandwidths. Traditional analysis methods have limitations, including low modeling accuracy for real vehicles in numerical methods, scale errors in wind tunnel tests, and significant risks in flight tests. The ground aeroelastic stability test is an innovative experimental method designed to address these challenges. This novel method employs shakers to apply condensed unsteady aerodynamic forces in real-time to actual vehicles, serving for both the ground flutter test (GFT) and the ground aeroservoelastic test (GAT). While extensive research exists on the GFT, there is limited exploration of the GAT. For the GAT of a slender vehicle in this paper, the condensed aerodynamic forces are calculated using the quasi-steady aerodynamic derivative method. An improved, partially decoupled inverse model controller is designed for force control, guided by an assessment of coupling strength among different shakers. Ground experiments under various flight control laws and flight dynamic pressures produce accurate results. Numerical simulations and experimental results demonstrate high precision, with excitation force amplitude deviations within ±10% and phase deviations within ±5° within the frequency range relevant to aeroservoelastic stability.
