Abstract
Using linear model, the parametric sensitivity analysis of viscoelastic panel flutter with an arbitrary function of relaxation, is examined by the Laplace integral transform method. The critical values of free stream velocities and frequencies of vibrations are determined from the condition that the real parts of the poles of integrand must be zero, which correspond to harmonic motion. Approximate and exact values of critical speed and corresponding frequencies for a general isotropic viscoelastic constitutive relations are obtained. The solutions are analyzed for critical, subcritical and supercritical cases. It is shown that the viscoelastic flutter speed is smaller than the corresponding elastic one if elastic moduli of material is equal to the initial value of relaxation function. Influence of aerodynamical damper is studied assuming that the parameter of viscous property of material is small enough in comparison with the parameter of aerodynamical damper and vice versa.
