Operator-based vibration control for aircraft vertical tail with piezoelectric actuator

In this paper, vibration control method for aircraft vertical tail with piezoelectric actuator is proposed. For describing the vibration response of aircraft vertical tail, a dynamic model of the tail is constructed. With considering the effect of hysteresis from the piezoelectric actuator, operator based controllers are designed to control the vibration of the tail and to guarantee the desired vibration control performance of the tail. Finally, numerical simulation results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
