Abstract
The panel flutter analysis considering the shear deformation is performed with a particular focus on the exact eigensolutions and the energy transfer. According to Mindlin plate theory and the first-order piston theory, this work obtains the exact eigensolutions of two-dimensional (2D) panel flutter at supersonic speeds. The boundary conditions (BCs) considered include: two edges are simply supported (SS), two edges are clamped (CC), and two edges are clamped and free (CF) respectively. Using the obtained exact eigensolutions, the relations of the kinetic energy, the potential energy and the work done by aerodynamic force are examined for the states of divergent vibration and periodic vibration. Besides, the coupling effect of shear deformation and aerodynamic damping on flutter frequencies is also revealed, and the present results are compared with those of the Galerkin method and the 2D Kirchhoff panel.
