Flutter is a phenomenon that occurs in wings or platelike structures as a result of aerodynamical forces when a certain flow speed, i.e., flutter speed, is reached. Flutter results in severe vibrations which eventually leads to fatigue failure of the wing. Many solutions are suggested against flutter phenomena. Wings or platelike structures under the effect of flowing air may contain nonlinearities due to connections or materials used. In this paper, effect of different structural nonlinear elements on the flutter speed is studied by using a 2D wing model. Aerodynamic lift and moment acting on the airfoil is obtained by utilizing Theodorsen's unsteady aerodynamics which is only applicable to subsonic flow. In this paper, modified Theodorsen model for a 2D wing is used. To solve the flutter equation, several methods are suggested in the literature. Methods like k method and p-k method assume harmonic vibration in the generalized coordinates resulting in an eigenvalue problem. These methods are applied to linear systems. When nonlinearities are present in the system, numerical time marching solutions to differential equations are used; however, they are very costly in terms of computational time. In this study, state-space approach is utilized to obtain the flutter speed in frequency domain by using describing function method (DFM). The nonlinear system of differential equations is converted into a nonlinear eigenvalue problem utilizing state-space approach from which the flutter speed resulting in unstable solutions is obtained. Nonlinear eigenvalue problem obtained can be solved iteratively without time marching methods. This method of finding flutter speed is computationally much faster than solving nonlinear flutter problems in time domain. Free play nonlinearity is a frequently observed nonlinearity where there exists a gap at both sides of the wing after which it is restricted by stiffnesses. Piecewise linear stiffness is a symmetric nonlinearity similar to free play where finite stiffness exists instead of a zero stiffness in between the gap. Softening cubic stiffness is a nonlinearity where stiffness of the structure decreases as the amplitude of the vibration increases. In this study, free play (gap nonlinearity), piecewise linear stiffness, and cubic stiffness nonlinearities acting on the rotational degree of freedom are considered in the case studies. Results obtained for these nonlinearities are presented and compared with each other.

Numerical and experimantal analysis of flapping motion
Sarıgöl, Ebru; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007)
The aerodynamics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional flapping motion in hover is analyzed in incompressible, laminar flow at low Reynolds number regime. The aim of this study is to understand the physics and the underlying mechanisms of the flapping motion using both numerical tools (Direct Numerical Simulation) and experimental tools (Particle Image Velocimetry PIV technique). Numerical analyses cover both two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations for different parameters using two differen...
Analysis of five-hole probe calibration parameters
Karahan, Sema; Kutay, Ali Türker (null; 2015-01-01)
Five-hole pressure probes are used to measure total and static pressure, magnitude and angles of flow velocity vector. Calibration procedure is of high importance to obtain ac- curate results. Different approaches are proposed in literature to obtain calibration coefficients and data reduction algorithm. In this paper, a significance analysis is conducted for the parameters of the third-order multiple regression model used in data reduction process. A new multi regression curve fitting is applied with the m...
Determination of prying load on bolted connections
Atasoy, Mert; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
Analysis of aircraft structures are mainly performed by assuming that the structure behaves linearly. In linear finite element analysis, it is assumed that deformations are small, thus geometric nonlinearity can be neglected. In addition, linear analysis assumes that linear constitutive laws applicable, implying that material nonlinearity can also be neglected. One very common type of nonlinearity is associated with the boundary conditions. Contact between two deformable bodies or between a deformable and r...
Investigation of flowfield characteristics due to shock wave-boundary layer interaction on compression decompression corners using les
Karpuzcu, Irmak Taylan; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Shock wave boundary layer interactions occur in industrial flows where the flow is transonic, supersonic or hypersonic and there is an incoming boundary layer present. Many of the air crafts such as planes, rockets, missiles, re-entry vehicles, and supersonic wind tunnels experience shock wave boundary layer interactions. These interactions can take place on an air craft at several different places such as the air intakes, ramps, forebody and fins, and also the diffuser section of a supersonic wind tunnel. ...
