Supercritical as well as subcritical Hopf bifurcation in nonlinear flutter systems

Abstract: The Hopf bifurcations of an airfoil flutter system with a cubic nonlinearity are investigated, with the flow speed as the bifurcation parameter. The center manifold theory and complex normal form method are used to obtain the bifurcation equation. Interestingly, for a certain linear pitching stiffness the Hopf bifurcation is both supercritical and subcritical. It is found, mathematically, this is caused by the fact that one coefficient in the bifurcation equation does not contain the first power of the bifurca… Show more

“…Most of the studies have focused on the numerical or analytical algorithms for solving the nonlinear aeroelastic equations, including the point transformation (PT) method [4] , the numerical continuation algorithm [5] , the center manifold method [6][7] , the perturbation incremental (PI) method [8] , the homotopy analysis method [9] , and the incremental harmonic balance method [10] . The describing function method was applied successfully to the flutter analyses of an aircraft for a variety of structural nonlinearities [11] .…”

“…Ding and Wang [11] also studied the flutter of an airfoil with cubic structural and aerodynamical nonlinearities by using the normal form method. The Hopf bifurcation of an airfoil flutter system with a cubic nonlinearity was investigated by Chen and Liu [12] by using the center manifold theory and complex normal form method. The results showed that for certain linear pitch stiffness, the Hopf bifurcation was supercritical as well as subcritical.…”
