Abstract:
A method was presented to analyze the nonlinear flutter. Based on this method, the flutter characteristics of the high aspect wing were illustrated. The numerical results show that the flutter speed is decreased when the first horizontal bending mode involved. Secondly, this study discussed how the main direction of the composite influenced the character of the nonlinear vibration and flutter, and established the method of the flutter clipping to the high aspect wing. And the result shows that the stiffness of structure can be changed by changing the main direction of the composite. It mainly changes the horizontal bending mode, makes the main direction tend to the trailing edge, and then makes the section line move to the leading edge. Further analyzing the nonlinear flutter reveals that it is the changing of the horizontal bending mode that causes the flutter speed change obviously. And by the section line of this mode moves ahead, the flutter speed will become larger. In the study, two examples were illustrated to validate its truthiness.
