Abstract
AbstractThe identification of optimally sparse Taylor partial derivatives presents a new opportunity in efficient nonlinear model reduction for complex aeroelastic systems. Unfortunately, for this class of reduced order model (ROM), the robustness that is observed in the linear regime to parameters including; dynamic pressure, control hinge linear stiffness, or even freeplay, can be quickly compromised in the nonlinear regime. In this paper, the nonlinear sensitivity of selected critical parameters is addressed by interpolating a library of nonlinear unsteady aerodynamic ROMs across a compact subspace in dynamic pressure and freeplay magnitude. The ROM, based on Lagrange interpolation of sparse higher-order Taylor partial derivatives, demonstrates excellent precision in modelling high amplitude transonic limit cycle oscillations for an all-movable wing with freeplay, capturing the LCO region (up to 96% of the linear flutter boundary), and for a range of freeplay values.
