Abstract:Non-linear factors cannot be avoided in the design of aircraft structures. In this paper, a two-degree-of-freedom airfoil and cubic stiffness nonlinearities in pitching degree-of-freedom operating in supersonic flight speed regimes has been analyzed. The averaging method and the theory of flutter were used to analyze the nonlinear dynamic system of the dualistic airfoil in the supersonic flow. Then the correctness of the theoretical calculation was verified by numerical calculation, and the analysis result was given.
