Abstract

In this brief communication, Melnikov's method is adopted to study the chaotic behaviors of a two-dimensional thin panel subjected to subsonic flow and external excitation. The nonlinear governing equations of the subsonic panel system are reduced to a series of ordinary differential equations by using Galerkin method. The critical parameters for chaos are obtained. It is found that the critical parameters obtained by the theoretical analysis are in agreement with the numerical simulations. The method suggested in this paper can also be extended for other fluid-structure dynamic systems, such as the fluid-conveying system.
