Description:
The effectiveness and practicality of the state-feedback vibration controller is demonstrated by computer simulations. It is shown that: (1) the required measurements can be reduced to fuselage accelerations; (2) the system is stable over a wide range of flight conditions; (3) a discrete design for the controller provides effective digital implementation at 80-Hz sampling; (4) attenuation produced by the actuators does not create a problem, and a simple lead compensator provides vibration reduction; and (5) a design based on a hover model worked well at five knots. At 40 and 120 knots, vibrations in all but the vertical acceleration were effectively suppressed. The state-feedback vibration controller has a rapid convergence time and implementation is easier than with multicyclic control since no on-line harmonic analysis or identification algorithms are required.
