Abstract

A multiple component structure consisting of two Euler-Bernoulli beams connected to a rigid mass is used to model the heave dynamics of a wing micro air vehicle. In the time domain, the attainment of a Cₒ-semigroup in the context of sesquilinear forms is demonstrated. In addition, the closed loop system is demonstrated to generate an exponentially stable Cₒ-semigroup. In the frequency domain, the infinite dimensional transfer function is determined and used to examine several properties of the system. Finally, an optimal control is used to morph the wings to a desired shape, and simulation results are demonstrated.
