Abstract
Vibrations of plate structures placed in a supersonic flow is considered. The undisturbed fluid flow is parallel to the plate. Two specific problems are treated: in the first one the plate is in the form of an infinite strip and the flow is in the direction of its finite length. Rigid walls extend from the sides of the plate indefinitely. In the second problem, the plate is a finite rectangle and the flow is parallel to one of its sides. The first problem is a limiting case of the second problem. The flow is modeled by piston theory which assumes that the fluid pressure on the plate is proportional to local slope. This approximation is widely used at high speeds, and reduces the interaction between the fluid flow and the vibrations of the plate to an additional term in the vibration equation. The resulting problem can be solved by assumed mode methods. In this study, the solution is also carried out by using the collocation method. The main result is the flutter velocity of the free fluid flow under which the plate vibrations become unstable. Finally, simple expressions are proposed between the various non-dimensional parameters that allows quick estimation of flutter velocity.
