Bifurcation of static aeroelastic response of thin-walled truncated conical shells
To investigate the aeroelastic instability of thin-shell structures
this article presents a comprehensive wind tunnel experiment focusing on the static aerodynamic response of a thin-walled truncated conical shell structure subjected to low-speed axial airflow. The experiment uncovered significant nonlinear response behavior of the truncated conical shell. As the wind speed increased
the structure initially exhibited a typical small five-petal deformation
followed by an abrupt transition to a large four-petal deformation. To provide a theoretical explanation for the observed bifurcation of this nonlinear response
a simplified calculation model for the steady-state aerodynamic force of the truncated cone shell was proposed. Based on the theory of nonlinear shell deformation
the bifurcation process of the response was calculated and reproduced
accurately capturing the critical wind speed at which the bifurcation occurs. Results indicate that
when considering the geometric nonlinearity of the truncated cone shell structure
the critical speed of system response bifurcation (nonlinear instability speed) is lower than that predicted by a linear system. Furthermore
the system demonstrates different response trajectories during the acceleration and deceleration stages
characterized by complex global bifurcation characteristics. The bifurcation behavior of static aeroelastic response occurring in truncated conical shells can be attributed to the nonlinear buckling problem induced by the "impact" of axial steady-state airflow on the shell.This study provides an important theoretical basic for the aeroelastic design of thin-walled structures.
