Nonlinear Analysis of a 2-DOF Piecewise Linear Aeroelastic System
Keyword(s):
Aerodynamic forces for a 2-DOF aeroelastic system oscillating in pitch and plunge are modeled as a piecewise linear function. Equilibria of the piecewise linear model are obtained and their stability/bifurcations analyzed. Two of the main bifurcations are border collision and rapid/Hopf bifurcations. Continuation is used to generate the bifurcation diagrams of the system. Chaotic behavior following the intermittent route is also observed. To better understand the grazing phenomenon sets of initial conditions associated with the system behavior are defined and analyzed.
