By means of the low design-cost, virtually maintenance-free and simpler frequency-tuning pattern, nonlinear tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) provide a promising means in controlling the vibrations of wind turbine tower. This paper considers the structural aero-elastic coupling behavior of wind turbine to evaluate the vibration control performance of nonlinear TLD synthetically. A dynamical aero-elastic coupling model of wind turbine is established by combining Euler-Lagrange equation with blade element momentum (BEM) method, and this model is validated by using the OpenFAST simulation tool. The stiffness and damping nonlinearities induced by the irregular liquid slope-deformation are considered to design a control system of nonlinear TLD, and the control performances of this nonlinear TLD for wind turbine tower are investigated and evaluated comprehensively. The theoretical and numerical analysis results indicated that the control capability of nonlinear TLD greatly depends on the aerodynamic damping of wind turbine under the different operation conditions, and it can provide the more outstanding contributions in controlling the dynamic responses of tower-top at side-side direction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 109306"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145117903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, chaotic pendulum system is usually induced by periodic stimuli and requires complex controllers, which limits its application scenarios. In this paper, a self-sustainable chaotic pendulum composed of a fiber and a mass sphere is designed under radial stimulation by introducing a steady radial linear temperature field. The corresponding nonlinear dynamic model is established to study its self-sustainable motion characteristics. The results of numerical calculation show that the liquid crystal elastomer pendulum system exhibits three distinct motion modes: periodic vibration, periodic swing and chaotic swing modes. The system compensates for the energy dissipated by damping using the net work done by the liquid crystal elastomer fiber in the linear temperature field, thus maintaining self-sustainable motion. Additionally, the paper explores the influence of system parameters on the motion behavior of the pendulum, and uses bifurcation diagrams to observe the changes in motion modes with parameter variations. It is worth emphasizing that this pendulum system can appear self-sustainable chaotic phenomenon in the position-independent driving mode.

This paper proposes an adaptive boundary vibration control scheme to address this issue. First, intermittent jumps in failure parameters may lead to unbounded estimated parameters in the controller. To prevent this, a projection operator is employed to update the estimates, ensuring their boundedness as well as that of the parameter estimation errors. Second, since the derivatives of the estimation errors are undefined at failure times, a piecewise Lyapunov function incorporating the estimation errors is developed. This function demonstrates that all closed-loop signals are uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) under the proposed control scheme. Furthermore, when the jump amplitudes of the Lyapunov function are sufficiently small and the time intervals between successive failures are sufficiently long, the steady-state performance in terms of angle tracking error and elastic deflection is enhanced. Third, based on the piecewise Lyapunov function, two explicit bounds for the angle tracking error and the elastic deflection are derived, showing that transient performance can be improved through appropriate selection of design constants.

Compared with intermittent control strategies discussed in the existing literature, the proposed approach introduces control intervals that are determined by discrete-time state observations, enhancing the efficacy of the control process. Notably, the aperiodic nature of this intermittent control, based on discrete-time state feedback, alleviates the limitations imposed by periodicity that are characteristic of traditional intermittent control strategies. The incorporation of time-varying control gains offers the advantage of enabling the control strategy to adapt to the dynamic characteristics of the networks in real-time, thereby improving the flexibility and effectiveness of the control. Furthermore, the paper presents a robust and easily-verifiable theoretical framework for establishing the quasi-synchronization criterion of TSFHSDNs.
