Active vibration control of nonlinear flexible structures via reduction on spectral submanifolds

Abstract

Large amplitude vibrations can cause hazards and failure to engineering structures. Active control has been an effective strategy to suppress vibrations, but it faces great challenges in the real-time control of nonlinear flexible structures. Here, we present a control design framework using reductions on aperiodic spectral submanifolds (SSMs) to address the challenges. We formulate high-dimensional nonlinear optimal control problems to suppress the vibrations and then use the SSM-based reductions to transform the original optimal control problems into low-dimensional linear optimal control problems. We further establish extended linear quadratic regulators to solve the reduced optimal control problems, paving the road for real-time active control of nonlinear flexible structures. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our control design framework via a suite of examples with increasing complexity, including a finite element model of an aircraft wing with more than 130,000 degrees of freedom.
