Experimental flutter test for a flat plate wing is performed and the flutter analysis methods are verified by comparing with the experimental results. Wing model and experimental equipment are established in the subsonic wind-tunnel. From the response of the wing, the flutter speed is estimated by using the system identification technique. MSC/NASTRAN, V-g method and root-locus method are used for the flutter analysis of the wing. The computed flutter speed is compared with the estimated one from the experiment, and they show good agreement. Wing model in the present study can be used as a benchmark model for the flutter analysis.

In this paper, nonlinear transonic flutter analyses of a composite missile fin considering the effect of delamination are conducted. An effective modal analysis methodology is adopted and verified with the experimental modal test data for laminated composite plates with delamination. Extended version of the in-house computational aeroelastic analysis program with the transonic small-disturbance (TSD) code is used in order to predict the flutter dynamic pressure of the delaminated composite fin models. In the subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow regions, nonlinear time-domain flutter analyses are performed for various delamination conditions, and aeroelastic characteristics due to the delamination phenomena are examined in detail.

In the present study, a strongly coupled analysis code is developed for transonic flutter analysis. For aerodynamic analysis, two dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equation was used for governing equation, and ε-SST for turbulence model, DP-SGS(Data Parallel Symmetric Gauss Seidel) Algorithm for parallelization algorithm. 2 degree-of-freedom pitch and plunge model was used for structural analysis. To obtain flutter response in the time domain, dual time stepping method was applied to both flow and structure solver. Strongly coupled method was implemented by successive iteration of fluid-structure interaction in pseudo time step. Computed results show flutter speed boundaries and limit cycle oscillation phenomena in addition to typical flutter responses - damped, divergent and neutral responses. It is also found that the accuracy of transonic flutter analysis is strongly dependent on the methodology of fluid-structure interaction as well as on the choice of turbulence model.

구조감쇠가 복합적층판의 초음속 패널 플러터에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 에너지법을 활용하여 지배방정식을 유도하였다. 구조 모델링은 일반적인 고전 적층판 이론을 적용하고 이의 해석은 진동 모우드를 가정하는 Rayleigh-Ritz법을 이용하였다. 비정상 공기력은 피스톤 이론(piston theory)을 적용하였다. 구조감쇠가 패널의 플러터에 미치는 일반적인 영향을 고찰하기 위해 등방성 평판의 구조감쇠의 크기에 따른 임계동압을 계산하였으며 이로부터 구조감쇠가 플러터 안정성을 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 복합적층판의 적층각에 따른 임계동압을 계산하여 패널 플러터와 구조감쇠와의 관계를 파악하였다. 구조감쇠는 낮은 공력감쇠에서는 플러터 안정성에 중요한 역할을 하지만 높은 공력감쇠에서는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다.

In this study was made the flutter analysis for the export model of Firefly(Bandi-ho), the small canard aircraft. Stiffness model based on internal load generation finite element model was generated. Mass model based on the weight DB for weight control was generated. Aerodynamic model based on Doublet Lattice Method was generated. Preliminary flutter analysis was made. Based on it, major vibration modes are identified and experimentally obtained via the ground vibration test. The obtained normal mode frequencies were used to correlate the finite element model. Flutter analysis was made again and major flutter mechanisms were summarized. The most important flutter root was identified as a coupled root between rigid body roll mode and anti-symmetric wing pitching mode.

Nonlinear aeroelastic characteristics of a two dimensional typical section model with bilinear plunge spring are investigated. Doublet-point method(DPM) is used for the calculation of supersonic unsteady aerodynamic forces which are approximated by using the minimum-state approximation. For nonlinear flutter analysis structural nonlinearity is represented by an asymmetric bilinear spring and is linearized by using the describing function method. The linear and nonlinear flutter analyses indicate that the flutter characteristics are significantly dependent on the frequency ratio. From the nonlinear flutter analysis, various types of limit cycle oscillations are observed in a wide range of air speeds below or above the linear flutter boundary. The nonlinear flutter characteristics and the nonlinear aeroelastic responses are investigated.

Solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles(SPUAV), which are being actively developed domestically and internationally, generally feature high aspect ratio(AR) wings. These high AR wings necessitate a lightweight design as their weight increases, rendering them susceptible to flutter. Consequently, flutter analysis is critical from the initial design phase. Typically, flutter analysis is conducted using a standard section wing or more precisely through a 3D model. However, due to the extended analysis time required by 3D models, this study opts for a 2D aircraft model. The 2D model computes faster than the 3D model and intuitively secures the flutter boundary. In this study, a structural/aerodynamic force model of the 2D aircraft was established, and the findings were compared with those from a 3D half model. The results showed that the flutter analysis between the 2D model and the 3D half model was similar, within about a 3% margin, thus validating the proposed 2D model's effectiveness.

풍하중이 작용하는 교량의 응답을 구하기 위하여 RFA(Rational Function Approximation)와 같은 시간 영역해석법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 교량 단면의 공기역학적 특성을 정의하는 플러터 계수는 주파수 영역에서 정의되기 때문에, 시간 영역해석을 위하여 inverse Fourier transform을 통해 얻어진 impulse response function을 이용한 중첩 적분법이 제안되었다. 시간 영역해석을 위해서는 플러터 계수에 상관성이 존재해야 함을 밝히고, 최적화 방법을 이용하여 시간 영역 해석을 위한 플러터 계수 산정법을 제안하고자 한다. B/D=20의 구형 단면에 적용하여 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하고자 한다.

Nonlinear aeroelastic analyses of a missile control fin are performed considering backlash and dynamic stiffness of actuator. Doublet-Hybrid method is used for the calculation of subsonic unsteady aerodynamic forces, and aerodynamic forces are approximated by the minimum-state approximation. For nonlinear flutter analysis backlash is represented by a free-play and is linearized by using the describing function method. Also, dynamic stiffness is function of frequency and is calculated by solving equation of motion for actuator. The linear and nonlinear flutter analyses show that the aeroelastic characteristics are significantly dependent on the backlash and dynamic stiffness. From the nonlinear flutter analysis, various types of limit cycle oscillations are observed in a range of air speeds below the linear divergent flutter boundary. The nonlinear flutter characteristics and the nonlinear aeroelastic responses are also investigated in the time domain.
