SUMMARY:Ludovic Renson (University of Bristol\, UK)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Exploring the dynamics of nonlinear experiments using control-based continuation \nAbstract: With the constant drive for better performance and efficiency\, technological boundaries are being pushed to their limits. In mechanics\, this often means that the dynamic behaviour of structures becomes increasingly nonlinear. Nonlinearity can arise\, for instance\, from the large displacements and rotations of flexible components (such as blades in wind turbines). \nWhile a significant effort has been\, and is\, devoted to the mathematical modelling and numerical analysis of such systems\, relatively little research addresses the issue of rigourous experimental testing. In fact\, until now\, there has been no general\, systematic method that can directly measure and characterise nonlinear dynamic behaviour during laboratory tests. Nonlinear systems are still tested as linear ones. Time series are collected for a whole range of excitation parameters and one relies on post-processing tools to understand the behaviour of the system. So far\, this sort of approach has not allowed quantitative comparisons between experiments and mathematical models; hence it is extremely challenging to incorporate nonlinear features into model development and validation processes. \nIn this talk\, I will present a method\, control-based continuation (CBC)\, which uses sensors and actuators to intelligently probe a physical system. Combining feedback control with numerical continuation algorithms\, CBC modifies\, on-line\, the excitation applied to the system in order to isolate the nonlinear behaviour of interest. In this way\, CBC offers the best conditions to analyse these dynamic features in detail\, to follow them as inputs and controllable parameters are changed\, and to detect and track boundaries between qualitatively different types of behaviour.
