Support-Vector-Machine-Based Reduced-Order Model for Limit Cycle Oscillation Prediction of Nonlinear Aeroelastic System

Abstract: It is not easy for the system identification-based reduced-order model (ROM) and even eigenmode based reduced-order model to predict the limit cycle oscillation generated by the nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics. Most of these traditional ROMs are sensitive to the flow parameter variation. In order to deal with this problem, a support vector machine- (SVM-) based ROM was investigated and the general construction framework was proposed. The two-DOF aeroelastic system for the NACA 64A010 airfoil in transonic flow was then demonstrated for the new SVM-based ROM. The simulation results show that the new ROM can capture the LCO behavior of the nonlinear aeroelastic system with good accuracy and high efficiency. The robustness and computational efficiency of the SVM-based ROM would provide a promising tool for real-time flight simulation including nonlinear aeroelastic effects.

A nonlinear POD reduced order model for limit cycle oscillation prediction

Abstract: As the amplitude of the unsteady flow oscillation is large or large changes occur in the mean background flow such as limit cycle oscillation, the traditional proper orthogonal decomposition reduced order model based on linearized time or frequency domain small disturbance solvers can not capture the main nonlinear features. A new nonlinear reduced order model based on the dynamically nonlinear flow equation was investigated. The nonlinear second order snapshot equation in the time domain for proper orthogonal decomposition basis construction was obtained from the Taylor series expansion of the flow solver. The NLR 7301 airfoil configuration and Goland+ wing/store aeroelastic model were used to validate the capability and efficiency of the new nonlinear reduced order model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed new reduced order model can capture the limit cycle oscillation of aeroelastic system very well, while the traditional proper orthogonal decomposition reduced order model will lose effectiveness.

Structural topology optimization on dynamic compliance at resonance frequency in thermal environments

Abstract: This paper [r] carries out topology optimization to minimize structural dynamic compliance at resonance frequencies in thermal environments. The resonance response is the main dynamic component, minimization of which could possibly change structural dynamic characteristics significantly. A bi-material square plate subjected to uniform temperature rise and driven by harmonic load is investigated in pre-buckling state. The compressive stress induced by thermal environment is considered as pre-stress in dynamic analysis, which could reduce stiffness of the structure and alter the optimal topology. Sensitivity analysis is carried out through adjoint method efficiently. As natural frequencies are constantly changing during the optimization, the associated sensitivity should be calculated in which multiple-frequency case is briefly discussed. Mode switching may occur during the optimization, and mode tracking technique is adopted. Numerical results show that the topology is mainly determined by the excited modes, and could be altered by the location of the applied load if different modes are excited. The natural frequencies become larger in optimal design and the dynamic compliance decreases in nearby frequency band. The critical buckling temperature increases as optimization proceeds, indicating the structure is always in pre-buckling state.

Nonlinear vibration of rotating pre-deformed blade with thermal gradient

Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic behavior is investigated for a rotating pre-deformed pre-twisted blade subjected to harmonic gas pressure. The pre-deformation curve produced by thermal gradient is derived. A novel nonlinear vibration system is established by considering the influence of pre-deformation. The combination of the Lagrange principle and the assumed modes method is utilized to obtain the motion equations, and then the equations are transformed into a dimensionless form through introducing a set of dimensionless parameters. For the purpose of ensuring high precision in determination of the internal resonance condition, the equations of motion are discretized by adequate trial functions. An eigenvalue analysis is conducted on the corresponding linear system to obtain the natural frequencies and examine the possibility of the 2:1 internal resonance. The method of multiple scales is developed to solve the resulting multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A numerical integration by means of Runge–Kutta is performed to establish the validity of the derived formulations. The evolution of frequency response curves with the rotating speed is observed. The influences of the thermal gradient, gas pressure and damping coefficient on the resonant dynamics of the system are investigated in detail. For the purpose of comparison, another distribution profile of pre-deformation, which is frequently used in previous literature, is also examined. It could be found that not only the amplitude but also the distribution of the initial deflection could influence the steady-state nonlinear response of the pre-deformed blade. A series of interesting nonlinear dynamic phenomena are discovered from the results.
