Abstract
To research impacts of mass points and elastic supports on dynamic and aeroelastic properties of plate structures, a unified dynamic model concerning the plate structures with concentrated mass point or elastic support subjected to supersonic airflow is established in this paper. The energy approach is utilized to deduce energy functions of the dynamic system, and the nonlinear dynamic equations are further formulated based on the variational principle. Furthermore, several numerical calculations are implemented to validate the proposed formulations, and satisfactory agreements are exhibited between the calculated vibration and flutter solutions and data from the software and literature. Subsequently, impacts of the mass point and elastic support on vibration and flutter properties of panel structures are also presented and the detailed mechanisms are explained. It can be found that aeroelastic stability properties of panel structures are significantly raised with the location of the concentrated mass point or elastic support placed reasonably. This study provides a simple method for the flutter suppression of plates, which can be used in the mechanical design of these plate structures for the better dynamic performances.
