In recent decades, the rapidly development of wind energy in China and the increasing of size and complexity of wind turbine have requested the improvement in wind turbine systematic design technology. A reasonable systematic dynamic model is an important part for systematic design of MW-class wind turbine. In structural dynamic model, the flexibility of blade and tower is represented by presumed mode shapes. In this paper, based on presumed mode shape method, the structural dynamic equations of wind turbine were constructed. Along with the wind field model, the wind turbine aeroelastic systematic dynamic model was constructed. Using the model, the deflections and load of blade, low speed shaft torque of a 1.5MW wind turbine have been calculated. Therefore, the construction of wind turbines systematic dynamic model has an important significance for the development of wind systematic design and manufacturing capacity.

We investigated the design of a neural-network-based adaptive control system for a smart structural dynamic model of the twin tails of an F-15 tail section. A neural network controller was developed and tested in computer simulation for active vibration suppression of the model subjected to parametric excitation. First, an emulator neural network was trained to represent the structure to be controlled and thus used in predicting the future responses of the model. Second, a neurocontroller to determine the necessary control action on the structure was developed. The control was implemented through the application of a smart material actuator. A strain gauge sensor was assumed to be on each tail. Results from computer-simulation studies have shown great promise for control of the vibration of the twin tails under parametric excitation using artificial neural networks.
