Abstract

This research project aims to investigate the mitigation of vibrations in the spars of aeronautical wings during flutter occurrences. The study will delve into aeroelastic phenomena, particularly focusing on flutter, defined as the self-excited interaction of vibration modes within a modified system, which can potentially lead to catastrophic failures. An analytical method has been developed to compute the flutter velocity, considering the stiffness and mass matrices, and the utilization of a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) has been proposed to enhance the flutter velocity, thereby extending the aircraft's operational range. Suggestions for future research directions have been provided.
