Business Jet Large-Scale Model Approximation and Vibration Control

In this paper, a procedure allowing to design an H∞-based low order anti-vibration controller is proposed. The contributions of the paper lie in the first specification and application of recent (i) model approximation and (ii) H∞ structured controller tuning techniques on a complex aeroelastical aircraft model, used by engineers to design control strategies. The entire procedure – i.e. approximation and control – is assessed on a Business Jet large-scale generic model, highlighting the effectiveness of the approach in a concrete use-case.
