Dynamic and control analysis of a smart rotor by combining the ansys and matlab software

This text describes the development of an efficient approach to the analysis of the dynamics of a rotor with a structure that contains active elements. Since the Ansys software, according to our experience, has limitations in the area of rotor dynamics and due to the fact that the use of control algorithms is difficult to implement in Ansys, a new analysis approach to the study of smart rotors has been created and verified. After the generation of the geometry and building the model in Ansys, the finite-element model matrices are imported into Matlab. The space state model is created next so that the reliable control software available in Matlab can be used. The verification of this analysis method has been done by comparison with the results obtained using an analytical model of a smart Jeffcott rotor with and without control.
