摘要：AbstractThis paper investigates the feasibility of the linear parameter-varying (LPV) framework for modelling the dynamic behaviour of ultra-lightweight convertible structures based on the elastic kinetic motion mechanism with a focus on civil and structural engineering applications. Model building is carried out for the example of a Fin Ray structure. In a first step local linear time-invariant (LTI) models are derived from a finite element model of the structure for different transformation states. On the basis of this collection of local LTI models, a grid-based LPV model is established. The derived LPV model is validated in simulation by comparison with data from a finite element model.
