We considera large-scale nonnormal eigenvalue prob[em that occurs in flutter analysis. Matrices arising in such problems are usually sparse, of large order, and highly nonnormal. We use the incomplete Arnoldi method associated with the Tchebycheff acceleration in order to compute a subset of the eigenvalues and their associated eigenvectors. This method has been parallelized using BLAS kernels and has been tested on various vector and parallel machines. We also studied the stability of the eigenproblem by perturbing the original matrix and verified that the spectral instability increases with the size of the problem. This work has been conducted at CERFACS in cooperation with the Aerospatiale Avions (Structural research and development department).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
