NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THIN-WALLED STRUCTURES IN HYPERSONIC FLOW REGIME

摘要

An approach to couple individual analysis codes is described to investigate fluid-structure interactions. Two applications with thin-walled structures - supersonic panel flutter and aerothermo-elastic buckling - demonstrate the applicability of this coupling approach. The supersonic panel flutter is used for validation of highly transient mechanical interactions. The thermal and mechanical interactions including aerothermoelastic buckling is a rarely considered topic.
