Stability of a thin panel with added elements in a supersonic gas flow

International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Thin elastic panels subjected to compression in the median plane and to supersonic gas flow are considered. An element is attached to the panel by an elastic spring and linear dashpot. The stability of the initial planar state of the panel is studied as a function of the main control parameters—such as the gas velocity and membrane force—and the parameters of the attached element. The evolution of the stability regions in the control-parameter plane is considered. Special attention is paid to compound bifurcation points and stabilization islets.
