Title: Boundary feedback stabilization of a flexible wing model under unsteady aerodynamic loads,
Abstract: This paper addresses the boundary stabilization of a flexible wing model,
both in bending and twisting displacements, under unsteady aerodynamic loads,
and in presence of a store. The wing dynamics is captured by a distributed
parameter system as a coupled Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam model. The
problem is tackled in the framework of semigroup theory, and a Lyapunov-based
stability analysis is carried out to assess that the system energy, as well as
the bending and twisting displacements, decay exponentially to zero. The
effectiveness of the proposed boundary control scheme is evaluated based on
simulations.
