Abstract

This paper deals with a development of 2-DOF flutter experiment equipment which represents a 2-DOF typical section model. For a conventional 2-DOF flutter experiment equipment, it is hard to observe flutter boundary clearly due to the complexity of the experiment equipment. To refine our flutter experiment equipment system, a compliant mechanism based torsional spring is used. Well-designed extruded aluminum pipe works as a torsional spring. SolidWorks and ANSYS are used for modeling, analysis and design of the torsional spring. With this designed torsional spring, the 2-DOF flutter experiment equipment is developed and wind tunnel tests are performed. Clear flutter boundary which is estimated by classical flutter analysis is observed in the experiments.
