Stochastic Nonlinear Aeroelasticity
Abstract
This report documents the culmination of in-house work in the area of uncertainty quantification and probabilistic techniques for aeroelasticity. The work was divided into different project areas, including: accurate analysis of limit-cycle oscillations for simple aeroelastic systems with variability; probabilistic prediction of flutter in systems with distributed variability (random fields); optimization of nonlinear dynamic systems (deterministic with intent to transition to risk-quantified optimization), and incorporation of sensitivities into probabilistic analyses. Technology developed in this task is being transitioned in the STOFAM program and extended in the new laboratory task "Risk-Based Computational Prototyping."
