Collocation Flutter Analysis Study. Volume 1. General Program Description

Abstract

The study covers the development of a set of computer programs to perform flutter analysis by the collocation method. While this method has been known for some time, only recently have advances in computer technology made the method technically and economically feasible. The ingredients of a collocation flutter analysis are (1) a flexibility matrix, (2) aerodynamic influence coefficient matrix, and (3) an eigenvalue solution. Volume I contains a general program discussion.
