摘要

This paper presents a novel analytical model that predicts the two-way coupled aeroelastic response of a linear elastic plate in axial potential flow, including the effects of plate curvature. The plate deforms in dynamic balance of the inertia, elastic, and aerodynamic forces. Analytical solutions are obtained by deriving the generalized aerodynamic force with respect to the beam eigenfunctions, which are expressed in a Chebyshev polynomial expansion. Exact expressions are derived for the generated lift, thrust and required input power. The derived solution agrees well with the results reported in the literature for plate flutter and flapping wings.
