An efficient modeling of a flexible airships

Abstract

This paper presents an efficient modelling of airships with small deformations moving in an ideal fluid. The formalism is based on the Updated Lagrangian Method (U.L.M.). This formalism proposes to take into account the coupling between the rigid body motion and the deformation as well as the interaction with the surrounding fluid. The resolution of the equations of motion is incremental. The behaviour of the airship is defined relatively to a virtual non-deformed reference configuration moving with the body. The flexibility is represented by a deformation modes issued from a Finite Elements Method analysis. The increment of rigid body motion is represented similarly by rigid modes. A modal synthesis is used to solve the general system equations of motion. Time constant matrices appears (i.e. mass and structural stiffness matrices), and we show a convenient technique to actualise the time dependant matrices.
