Nonlinear Multibay Panel Flutter Evaluation of Composite Laminates with Curvilinear Fibers

Panel flutter is a real design issue for supersonic flying aerospace vehicles caused by flexible panels subject to unsteady supersonic aerodynamics loading that can lead to critical fatigue damages and catastrophic failures. Many efforts earlier were devoted to this problem, considering the numerical evaluation of a single panel solution typically. Rather than this approach, it is proposed in this paper the nonlinear aeroelastic analysis of...
