Sommario

Proseguendo una ricerca già iniziata si approfondiscono alcuni aspetti del flutter dei pannelli a debole curvatura. Per questo è stato messo a punto un nuovo sistema di presentazione visiva dei risultati che ha reso più agevole e profiquo lo studio condotto con il calcolatore analogico; inoltre si è migliorato il circuito di calcolo ottenendo la possibilità di variare in modo continuo, durante il calcolo, oltre che il parametro di flutter, anche il carico di compressione.

Summary

Pursuing a previous study, the investigation of some aspects of the flutter of weakly curved panels is taken a stage further. A new system of visual presentation of the results evolved for this makes the analog computer study easier and more rewarding. Further, an improvement in the calculating circuit permits continuous variation both of the flutter parameter and of the compression load during calculation.
