Description

The aim of this research is to develop and analyze self-tuning Variable Length Systems (VLS) for the reduction of wind turbine blade vibrations. The study focuses on the derivation of the dimensionless formulation of the differential-algebraic system of equations governing the nonlinear dynamics of lumped-mass VLS subjected to configurational forces. A perturbation-based approach will be employed to identify the self-tuning curve and to perform a parametric analysis with respect to variations in the stiffness of the additional elastic constraint...
