Abstract

The robust aeroelastic control of a three-degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) linear and non-linear wing-flap system under sliding mode control (SMC) and operation in supersonic flight speeds is presented. Open- and closed-loop aeroelastic responses to blast and sonic-boom excitation in the wingflap system with uncertainty, as well as flutter analysis, are investigated along with the implementation of a Sliding Mode Observer (SMO). The effectiveness of control in reducing the amplitude of oscillation and preventing flutter instability is demonstrated.
