Abstract

This paper is devoted to investigate the flutter and thermal buckling properties of the functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) plate in supersonic airflow, and the active flutter control is carried out under different temperature fields. The piezoelectric material component of the FGPM plate has gradient changes along the thickness, such as piezoelectricity and dielectric coefficients. The supersonic piston theory is used to evaluate the aerodynamic pressure. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton’s principle with the assumed mode method, the equation of motion of the structural system is deduced. The effect of aerodynamic pressure on the frequency and damping ratio of the FGPM plate is analyzed. Moreover, the flutter and thermal buckling properties of the FGPM and pure metal plates are compared to show the superior aerothermoelastic properties of the FGPM plates. The influences of volume fraction exponent and temperature on the flutter and thermal buckling properties of the FGPM plate are also examined in detail. The LQR controller is adopted to achieve active flutter control. The simulation results show that the present control method can largely improve dynamic stability of the FGPM plate in supersonic airflow and high-temperature environment.
