M. Ganapathi et M. Touratier, SUPERSONIC FLUTTER ANALYSIS OF THERMALLY STRESSED LAMINATED COMPOSITEFLAT PANELS, Composite structures, 34(2), 1996, pp. 241-248
This paper deals with supersonic flutter analysis of laminated composi
te panels exposed to a temperature field. The formulation includes tra
nsverse shear deformation, and in-plane and rotary inertia effects. Th
e aerodynamic force is evaluated by Considering the first-order high M
ach number approximation to linear potential flow theory. The solution
for the complex eigenvalue problem is obtained by the QR algorithm. B
efore obtaining the critical aerodynamic pressure, thermal stress and
buckling load are calculated. Numerical results are presented for both
cross- and angle-ply laminates. A detailed parametric study is carrie
d out to observe the effects of different temperature loadings, thickn
ess, number of layers, lamination scheme and boundary conditions on th
e flutter boundary.
