Control of Pitch-Flap Instabilities in Helicopter Rotors using Delayed Feedback

Optimization and Control 2016-04-06 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

The problem of vibration suppression in helicopter rotors is the main topic of this paper. We revisit a strategy for the stabilization of such systems based on delayed feedback. By means of an improved analysis, made possible by recently developed mathematical tools, we present insights on how the delay can be used as stabilization tool for this problem. The results are supported with numerical simulations. For simplicity, only the case of hovering flight is considered.
