English abstract:
This paper states an approach to actuator and
sensor positioning optimization and design in the control
system design of a large blended wing body (BWB) passenger
aircraft. Numerous objectives have to be achieved by the
control system: loads alleviation, vibration attenuation, and
the fulfillment of handling quality requirements. Exploiting
the system structure and existing system knowledge (excitation,
comfort, and load formulations), evaluation criteria are designed
to assess actuator and sensor effectiveness and efficiency for
the aircraft dynamic range of interest. The tasks of optimal
actuator and sensor positioning, actuator sizing, and actuator
bandwidth requirements are investigated, whereby solutions that are robust are
sought with respect to parameter variations.
The results are shown on a BWB passenger aircraft model and
verified using a normalized closed-loop performance assessment
approach.
