利用压电驱动器改善飞机的横滚性能

利用分布粘贴在矩形机翼上下两面的压电驱动器 ,验证了使用该类结构提高飞行器横滚能力的可能性。针对常规的副翼操纵面与虚拟操纵面 (FictitiousControlSurface)两种方案 ,比较了在不同速压或不同刚度下两类方案的表现。分析结果表明二者有本质的差别 :对于常规的副翼操纵方案 ,气动弹性效应是不利的 ,必须保证机翼具有足够的结构刚度以防止副翼反效问题 ;但对于虚拟操纵面方案 ,气动弹性效应是有利的 ,可以使用较小的能量控制较为柔软的机翼达到要求的横滚性能。计算结果显示 ,利用压电驱动器的方案可以大大减少结构重量

Improvement of Aircraft Rolling Power by Use of Piezoelectric Actuators

Piezoelectric actuators are distributed on both side of a rectangular wing model,and the possibility of improvement of aircraft rolling power is investigated. The difference between the model with aileron deflection and the model without aileron (fictitious control surface, FCS) is studied. The analytical results show that these two cases are substantial different. In aileron deflection case, the aeroelastic effect is disadvantageous, so the structural stiffness should be high until the electrical voltage is not necessary. But in the case of FCS,the aeroelastic effect is advantageous and it means that lower structural stiffness can lead to lower voltage. Compared with aileron project, the FCS project can save structure weight.
