The aeroelastic phenomenon named flutter is usually the worst situation in real flight conditions. Flutter can be a problem with any aircraft design and we prefer to predict and modify the critical flutter speed of an aircraft before an incident occurs. We can accurately predict flutter speed and flutter frequency with analysis programs.we are going to analyze the flutter behavior of the AGARD wing 445.6 and material we are going to select is aluminium alloy. Here we have undertaken the coupling method for predicting the flutter behavior of wing model. The two main parameters we are going to concern are flutter frequency and flutter velocity. We are going to couple the three analysis namely, Modal Analysis for predicting natural frequencies, Aerodynamic analysis calculating the lift force, Structural Analysis for calculating deformation of the wing at different angels.

Introduction * aeroelsticity * collars triangle * flutter Literature review Design methodology Design proposal Reference

Aeroelasticity can be defined as a science which studies the interaction between inertial forces, aerodynamic forces and elastic forces. The aeroelastic problems can be classified by means of a modified Collar triangle. Flutter is defined as the dynamic instability of an elastic body in an airstream it is caused by the unsteady aerodynamic forces generated from elastic deformations of the structure

Flutter is an unstable oscillation which can lead to destruction. Flutter can occur on fixed surfaces, such as the wing or the stabilizer, as well as on control surfaces such as the aileron or the elevator for instance.

Fully coupled algorithms The complete system involving fluid and structure solver is embedded into a unique code. For this case an iterative solution is carried out at each time Step Strongly coupled algorithms These algorithms contain sufficient interaction between the two codes such that the stability of the system is at least equal to that of the least stable code Weakly coupled algorithms These systems usually consist of two separate programs which are connected to each other through a defined interface. Coupling between the two codes is done once for each time step
