An optical phase tracking technique for an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) is proposed in order to overcome interferometric non-linearity. Basic idea is utilizing strain-rate information, which cannot be easily obtained from an EFPI sensor itself. The proposed phase tracking system consists of a patch-type EFPI sensor and a simple on-line phase tracking logic. The patch-type EFPI sensor comprises an EFPI and a piezoelectric patch. An EFPI sensor itself has non-linear behavior due to the interferometric characteristics, and a piezoelectric material has hysteresis. However, the composed patch-type EFPI sensor system overcomes the problems that can arise when they are used individually. The dynamic characteristics of the proposed phase tracking system were investigated, and then the patch-type EFPI sensor system was applied to the active suppression of flutter, dynamic aeroelastic instability, of a swept-back composite plate structure. The proposed system has effectively reduced the amplitude of the flutter mode, and increased flutter speed.

본 논문에서는 복합재료 패널 플러터를 억제할 수 있는 두 가지 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 첫번째, 능동제어 방법에서는 선형 제어 이론을 바탕으로 제어기를 설계하였으며 제어입력이 작동기에 가해진다. 여기서 작동기로는 PZT를 사용하였다. 두 번째, 인덕터와 저항으로 구성되어진 션트회로를 사용하여 시스템의 감쇠를 증가시킴으로써 패널 플러터를 억제할 수 있는 새로운 방법인 수동감쇠기법에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 수동감쇠기법은 능동적 제어보다 강건(robust)하며 커다란 전원 공급이 필요하지 않고 제어기나 감지 시스템과 같이 복잡한 주변 기기가 필요 없이도 실제 패널 플러터 억제에 쉽게 응용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 최대의 작동력/감쇠 효과를 얻기 위해서 유전자 알고리듬을 사용하여 압전 세라믹의 형상과 위치를 결정하였다. 해밀턴 원리를 사용해서 지배 방정식을 유도하였으며, 기하학적 대변형을 고려하기 위해 von-Karman의 비선형 변형률-변위 관계식을 사용하였으며 공기력 이론으로는 준 정상 피스톤 1차 이론을 사용하였다. 4절점 4각형 평판 요소를 이용하여 이산화된 유한 요소 방정식을 유도하였다. 효율적인 플러터 억제를 위해 패널 플러터에 중요한 영향을 미치는 플러터 모드를 이용한 모드축약기법을 사용하였으며, 이를 통해 비선형 연계 모달 방정식이 얻어지게 된다. 능동적 제어 방법과 수동 감쇠 기법에 의해 수행되어진 플러터 억제 결과들을 Newmark 비선형 시분할 적분법을 통해 시간 영역에서 살펴 보았다.

Section model wind tunnel test is currently the main technique to investigate the flutter performance of long-span bridges. Further study about applying the wind tunnel test results to the aerodynamic optimization is still needed. Systematical parameters and test principle of the bridge section model are determined by using three long-span steel truss suspension bridges. The flutter critical wind at different attack angles is obtained through section model flutter test. Under the most unfavorable working condition, tests to investigate the effects that upper central stabilized plate, lower central stabilized plate and horizontal stabilized plate have on the flutter performance of the main beam were conducted. According to the test results, the optimal aerodynamic measure was chosen to meet the requirements of the bridge wind resistance in consideration of safety, economy and aesthetics. At last the credibility of the results is confirmed by full bridge aerodynamic elastic model test. That the flutter reduced wind speed of long-span steel truss suspension bridges stays approximately between 4 to 5 is concluded as a reference for the investigation of the flutter performance of future similar steel truss girder suspension bridges.

This paper presents some examples of active control of flow-induced vibration using piezoelectric actuators. The flutter phenomenon, which is the dynamic instability of structure due to mutual interaction among inertia, stiffness, and aerodynamic forces, may cause catastrophic structural failure, and therefore the active flutter suppression is one of the main objectives of the aeroelastic control. Active flutter control has been numerically and experimentally studied for swept-back lifting surfaces using piezoelectric actuation. A finite element method, a panel aerodynamic method, and the minimum state space realization are involved in the development of the governing equation, which is efficiently used for the analysis of the system and design of control laws with modern control framework. The active control suppressed flow-induced vibrations and extended the flutter speed around by 10%. Another representative flow-induced vibration phenomenon is the oscillation of blunt bodies due to the vortex shedding. In general, it is quite difficult to set up the numerical model because of the strong non-linearity of the vortex shedding structure. Therefore, we applied adaptive positive position feedback controller, which requires no pre-determined model of the plant, and successfully suppressed the flow-induced vibration.

A series of wind tunnel tests, including 1:50 sectional model tests, 1:50 free-standing bridge tower tests and 1:70 full-bridge aeroelastic model tests were carried out to systematically investigate the aerodynamic performance of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB). The test result indicates that there are three wind-resistant safety issues the HZMB encounters, including unacceptable low flutter critical wind speed, vertical vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of the main girder and galloping of the bridge tower in across-wind direction. Wind-induced vibration of HZMB can be effectively suppressed by the application of aerodynamic and mechanical measures. Acceptable flutter critical wind speed is achieved by optimizing the main girder form (before: large cantilever steel box girder, after: streamlined steel box girder) and cable type (before: central cable, after: double cable); The installations of wind fairing, guide plates and increasing structural damping are proved to be useful in suppressing the VIV of the HZMB; The galloping can be effectively suppressed by optimizing the interior angle on the windward side of the bridge tower. The present works provide scientific basis and guidance for wind resistance design of the HZMB.

The suppression of aerodynamic response of long-span suspension bridges during erection and after completion by using single TMD and multi TMD is presented in this paper. An advanced finite-element-based aerodynamic model that can be used to analyze both flutter instability and buffeting response in the time domain is also proposed. The frequency-dependent flutter derivatives are transferred into a time-dependent rational function, through which the coupling effects of three-dimensional aerodynamic motions under gusty winds can be accurately considered. The modal damping of a structure-TMD system is analyzed by the state-space approach. The numerical examples are performed on the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge with a main span of 1990 m. The bridge is idealized by a three-dimensional finite-element model consisting of 681 nodes. The results show that when the wind velocity is low, about 20 m/s, the multi TMD type 1 (the vertical and horizontal TMD with 1% mass ratio in each direction together with the torsional TMD with ratio of 1% mass moment of inertia) can significantly reduce the buffeting response in vertical, horizontal and torsional directions by 8.6-13%. When the wind velocity increases to 40 m/s, the control efficiency of a multi TMD in reducing the torsional buffeting response increases greatly to 28%. However, its control efficiency in the vertical and horizontal directions reduces. The results also indicate that the critical wind velocity for flutter instability during erection is significantly lower than that of the completed bridge. By pylon-to-midspan configuration, the minimum critical wind velocity of 57.70 m/s occurs at stage of 85% deck completion.

The paper deals with vibration suppression and dynamic stability of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying an internal flowing fluid and having an attached mass. Real pipe systems may have some valves or mechanical attached parts, which can be regarded as attached lumped masses. The effect of attached mass on the dynamic stability of a cantilevered pipe conveying fluid is investigated for different locations and magnitudes of the attached mass. The flow rate was controlled through motor pump output and measured by a flow meter. Experimental resutls in the vicinity of flutter fluid velocity were compared with theoretical predictions. It has been found that the experimental results are in substantial agreement with the theoretical predictions. Finally, in order to suppress the vibration of the pipe subjected to a disturbance, and control technique using an internal flowing fluid is introduced.

The model-free control of aeroelastic vibrations of a non-linear 2-D wing-flap system operating in supersonic flight speed regimes is discussed in this paper. A novel continuous robust controller design yields asymptotically stable vibration suppression in both the pitching and plunging degrees of freedom using the flap deflection as a control input. The controller also ensures that all system states remain bounded at all times during closed-loop operation. A Lyapunov method is used to obtain the global asymptotic stability result. The unsteady aerodynamic load is considered by resourcing to the non-linear Piston Theory Aerodynamics (PTA) modified to account for the effect of the flap deflection. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the robust control strategy in suppressing dynamic aeroelastic instabilities, such as non-linear flutter and limit cycle oscillations.
