STUDIES ON FLUTTER PREDICTION
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the instability of the dynamic flutter. The justification is expressed by the fact that the occurrence of flutter within the aircraft’s flight envelope results in irreversible structural deformation which consequently leads to serious damage. Therefore the mathematical modeling of this phenomenon and its validation are very important. The instability of the dynamic flutter is characterized by critical speed and critical pulsation of oscillatory movements. In this paper, the quasi-stationary model and the Theodorsen model have been analyzed for calculating the aerodynamic forces and torques, and a comparison of them has been carried out. The fluid-structure coupling is done by rewriting the equations, considering that the forces are given by closed formulas. For the mathematical modeling of the flutter there have been used the p-k and V-g methods based on the Theodorsen model and the quasi-stationary model. In order to modeling the free vortices aerodynamic forces and moments, the equations which describe both the motion of the structure and the fluid flow had to be integrated simultaneously in time. The fluid-structure coupling is considered as a combination of two systems that describe the aeroelastic behavior of the structure.
