Abstract
The supersonic flutter of aeroelastic multibody systems was investigated. Based on the theory of multibody dynamics and the piston theory for unsteady aerodynamic forces, the governing differential algebraic equations (DAEs) for the aeroelastic multibody system were established. The supersonic flutter analysis was conducted through solution of the eigenvalue problem in the form of DAEs to discuss the stability of the perturbed motion and the equilibrium of the multibody system. The approach was used for the supersonic flutter problems of a plate wing and a wing with control surfaces. The flutter speed of the wing was obtained with the control surfaces in different positions. The agreement between the simulation results and the experimental ones shows that, the present method has high computational accuracy, and is suitable for the flutter analysis of engineering structures consisting of multiple components.
