Thermal effect on flutter of panels

Abstract

This chapter studies the effect of thermomechanical load interactions on the panel flutter phenomena. The classical panel flutter of laminated composite and FGM flat panels is investigated. Aero-thermo-elastic stability diagrams for various panel configurations, different temperatures and dynamic pressure have been obtained.

14.1 Introduction

During their operations life aerospace structures are subjected contemporaneously both to aerodynamics loads, which depend on aerodynamic pressure distributions and viscous forces, and aero-thermal effects which take into ...
