Abstract

In the paper, the Simple Adaptive Control scheme based on the implicit reference model and the passification theorem is designed for active suppressing the airfoil flutter. This approach leads to low-order adaptation algorithms despite that the plant model order may be high. Another merit of such a kind of adaptive controllers is a possibility of using them for solving the stabilization problems, when the reference signal is zero. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate efficiency and robustness of the proposed adaptive controller.
