[0002] Panel flutter is a kind of aeroelastic instability phenomenon of aircraft surface skin structure due to the mutual coupling of aerodynamic force, inertial force and elastic force, and is a kind of self-excited vibration of a dynamic system. Unlike the classic lift surface flutter, the aerodynamic load of the panel flutter only acts on one surface of the panel, and due to the geometric nonlinearity caused by the large deformation of the panel surface, the panel flutter usually presents as amplitude-limited vibration, and long-term panel flutter will cause fatigue damage of the panel structure.
[0003] A large amount of work has been done by technical personnel to study the panel flutter characteristics of high-speed aircraft skin to provide technical support for the structural optimization design of high-speed aircraft. However, due to the difficulty in developing the test device, the early research mainly relies on theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, and the panel flutter characteristic test research under the ground environment is relatively limited, especially the back side of the panel flutter characteristic test model is the wind tunnel standing room, the pressure of the wind tunnel standing room is higher than the static pressure of the wind tunnel test section flow field, and the pressure difference changes greatly with the Mach number of the incoming flow, while the pressure difference between the two sides of the panel flutter characteristic test model is a given value, and can be changed in real time according to the static pressure of the test section flow field.
