Abstract

This paper investigates vibro-acoustic behaviour of an isotropic beam subjected to in-plane varying temperature field and supersonic flow. For a given elevated temperature and non-uniform temperature (NUFT) field, the aerodynamic pressure (ADP) is varied in fraction of its critical value, and the consequent effect on sound radiation characteristics is investigated. Shear and normal deformable beam theory (SNDBT) based kinematics is used, and equations of motion are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Following that, the Ritz method is used to solve the equations. To start with, aeroelastic flutter and vibro-acoustic response characteristics (as a function of critical aerodynamic pressure (λcr)) are analyzed without considering any thermal stress effect. Following that, for a given temperature field, the critical buckling temperature (ΔTcr) of the beam is obtained. Then, the impact of thermal stress caused by the NUFT field on the flutter and sound radiation characteristics is studied. The study observed that the combined effects of the NUFT field and variable ADP significantly impacted the beam's flutter and vibro-acoustic responses.
