Abstract:

Computations of flutter boundaries in the time and frequency domain are presented using an interactive 3D Transonic Small Perturbation code. Results of conventional-flutter calculations in the frequency domain are opposed to those of flutter simulations integrating the aerodynamic and structural equations of motion simultaneously in the time domain. The paper first highlights the basic properties of these two approaches and then presents results for a six and a two degrees-of-freedom model. A comparison of generalized airloads determined by harmonic and pulse excitation is presented additionally.
