摘要
A two-dimensional airfoil with a free-play nonlinearity in pitch subject to incompressible flow has been analyzed. The aerodynamic forces on the airfoil were evaluated using Wagner's function and the resulting equations integrated numerically to give time histories of the airfoil motion. Regions of limit cycle oscillation are detected for velocities well below the linear flutter boundary, and the existence of these regions is strongly dependent on the initial conditions and properties of the airfoil. Furthermore, for small structural preloads, narrow regions of chaotic motion are obtained, as suggested by power spectral densities, phase-plane plots, and Poincare sections of the airfoil time histories. The existence of this chaotic motion is strongly dependent on a number of airfoil parameters, including, mass, frequency ratio, structural damping, and preload.
