Flutter Analysis of Composite Wing Using Differential Quadrature Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Considering the geometric and material coupling of a composite wing, the equations of motion are derived based on Hamilton theory. Frequencies computing and validation of a composite wing with bending-torsion coupling using differential quadrature method (DQM). And the DQM is applied to the flutter speed solution of a composite wing. The results thus obtained are then compared with some available results and a good agreement is observed. The computing time of DQM is highly improved compared with Galerkin method. Moreover, the effect of material coupling rigidity on flutter speed is analyzed and this is important to the design of composite wings.
