A Study of Supersonic Flow Past Vibrating Panels and Shells.

Abstract

Supersonic flow past harmonically vibrating two-dimensional panels and cylindrical shells is analyzed using a linearized method-of-characteristics procedure. A detailed description of this method to solve the linearized unsteady potential equation is given and numerical results are presented to indicate the nature of the aerodynamic pressure distributions. Also, comparisons of the present results are made with earlier work based upon quite different approaches. (Author)
