Modeling and Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Vibration Control of the Flexible Wing with End Loads

An innovative three-dimensional model of flexible wing is built, which is counted as a distributed parameter system. For the parameter uncertainty and unknown actuator fault of this system, an adaptive fault-tolerant control method combined with boundary control is designed to maintain stability. By using the Lyapunov-based method, the uniform boundedness is theoretically proved in this closed-loop system. The efficacy and feasibility of the strategy can be demonstrated by numerical simulation.
