Abstract

In this paper, the linear flutter characteristics of laminated composite flat panels immersed in a supersonic flow is investigated using field consistent elements within the framework of unified formulation. The influence of the aerodynamic damping on the supersonic flutter characteristics of flat composite panels is also investigated. The aerodynamic force is evaluated using two-dimensional static aerodynamic approximation for high supersonic flow. Numerical results are presented for laminated composites that bring out the influence of the flow angle, the boundary conditions, the plate thickness and the plate aspect ratio on the flutter characteristics.
