Abstract Panel flutter arises from the aeroelastic instability of the skin structures on the high-speed vehicles, usually in supersonic regime and combined with thermal environment. Unlike the catastrophic flutter of the wings, panel flutter tends to be treated as non-catastrophic one. The nonlinear panel flutter response is of great interest to find the fatigue loading spectra. Present work introduces an aeroelastic model for a thermal isolating panel made from functionally graded materials (FGMs). The Mindlin plate theory is employed to establish the structural equations, the first-order piston theory is adopted for the supersonic aerodynamic loads, and… More >
