TRANSTABILITY FLUTTER OF SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT PANELS,

Abstract

A beam is clamped at the ends. The ends have been forced toward one another before clamping so that the beam is buckled slightly. One face of the beam is exposed to a supersonic air stream flowing parallel to the beam whose effect is a pressure negatively proportional to the inclination of the beam. The practical prototype of this model which was used to study transtability flutter is a panel in the structure of a supersonic aircraft.
