results in all cases are in excellent agreement with the reference data. The flutter code is
further enhanced to enable aeroelastic optimization and uncertainty based flutter analysis
of AGARD 445.6 wing/store configurations. Firstly, aeroelastic optimization study varying
input parameters such as taper ratio, sweep angle, spanwise elasticity and shear modulus
is performed to maximize flutter boundary of AGARD 445.6 wing and an optimum clean
wing model is ascertained. Next, the structural effects of designated external masses are
investigated for flutter of initial and optimized AGARD 445.6 wing models and optimum
configurations of store placement are determined. Finally, structural randomness such as in
spanwise elasticity and shear modulus of the wing are propagated through flutter analyses
and this uncertainty quantification is applied to initial and optimum AGARD 445.6 clean
wing models. Finally, for wing/store models, random parameters relevant to store masses,
store load placements are added to material property uncertainties and similarly flutter
boundary uncertainty is examined. In all analyses, uncertainty quantification is accom-
plished by Monte Carlo Simulation method with various Coefficient of Variation estimates.

I. Introduction
Aeroelasticity, as a multidisciplinary research field, investigates the behavior of an elastic structure in
airstream and interaction of inertial, aerodynamic and structural forces. The most catastrophic aeroelastic
phenomenon, flutter, occurs when the structure extracts energy from air stream. Determination of flutter
boundary is a prerequisite for reliability of a aircraft design. Several analytical, numerical and experimental
techniques have been traditionally used for examination of flutter boundary. Analytical solutions are required
to recognize the physical background of a dynamic aeroelastic system. As stated by Shubov,1 the physical
meaning of flutter can not be completely understood unless an analytical solution procedure is applied. Ex-
perimental or numerical studies do not provide sufficient physical knowledge. An analytical flutter solution
of a wing model can be time, frequency and Laplace domain based. Time based approaches are known as
”Time Marching Methods” and based on a coupled form including correct estimations in both aerodynamics
and structural displacements.2 These approaches practise on time dependent step size calculations in the so-
lution domain. Laplace variable based studies employ a time independent solution,3 thus algebraic equations
are adequate to find flutter speed. Frequency based approaches such as V-g and p-k methods are the most

sources of uncertainties can be various while the most common ones seen in aeroelastic systems are in
structural and aerodynamic models.9 Uncertainties such as in structural damping, mass distribution, flow
boundary conditions, geometry, material properties and aerodynamics have been studied in prior works in
literature.8, 10, 11 Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is a frequently used method in uncertainty quantification
in a stochastic framework however it becomes nonconvergent in computationally expensive problems. Mar-
ques12 considers MCS, perturbation and interval analyses in stability calculation of Goland wing based on
eigenvalues containing Euler aerodynamics effects. Kurdi13 determines flutter boundaries of heavy version of
Goland+ wing and wing/store configuration by considering uncertainties in structural dimensions. Random
variables are distributed with MCS while flutter speed is calculated by using the linear aerodynamic theory
of ZONA6 code.
The flutter solution method of the present work employs assumed mode technique for aeroelastic modeling
and V-g frequency domain solution for flutter boundary determination. The starting point of the aeroelastic
modeling is Lagrange equation while aerodynamic terms are defined in terms of Theodorsen function. The
solution is based on a station-by-station flutter analysis along wing span and the critical flutter speed is the
minimum of all calculated values. The proposed analytical method is validated by flutter analyses of two
benchmark problems from literature. An in-house solution code is developed for flutter analysis of Goland
and AGARD 445.6 wing models, and then further extended to compute deterministic and probabilistic
flutter boundaries of AGARD 445.6 wing/store configurations. The flutter solution code is then coupled
with the optimization software, modeFRONTIER, to perform aeroelastic design optimization of wing/store
models as well. The first application is the determination of optimum clean wing model in terms of input
variables such as taper ratio, sweep angle, elasticity and shear modulus along spanwise direction. Next, the
optimum store placement is presented along initial and optimum clean wing models. 3, 4 and 5-stations of
store placements are considered and optimum store locations are ascertained for each configuration. Finally,
a probabilistic flutter analysis is performed for these structures by regarding structural uncertainties such
as store masses and locations, and material properties of the clean wing model. This work presents a highly
accurate probabilistic flutter analysis since uncertainties are propagated by MCS by using a rather large
number of samples for each random parameter. Despite large number of simulations, the present work is
still advantegous in terms of computational efficiency since it makes use of only one solution code for flutter
calculation.

The first bending and the first torsional modes are considered in calculations since they have the major
effects on flutter boundary. Existence of flutter motion mostly affected by the first modes will be justified
by Goland and AGARD 445.6 wing applications.
Natural frequencies in bending and torsional motions have to be solved distinctly since the relevant
equations have different physical meanings and mathematical expressions. Euler-Bernoulli beam equations
are used to calculate natural frequencies. Equations of motion in bending and torsion are respectively
expressed in (5) and (6).4

Harmonic motion assumption is made to determine the displacements of reference station on flutter
boundary. Reference station is a station along wing span whose properties are considered to compute flutter
speed and it is generally 75% of span distance away from the wing root.4, 14 In the present work, flutter
speeds of three dimensional clean wing models are calculated by employing a station-by-station analysis.
The wing model is divided into 105 stations along the span and flutter speeds are determined for the
corresponding stations. The critical flutter speed is the minimum of all calculated values. The station-
by-station analysis even infers that the reference station is 75% of span distance away. Thus, the flutter

boundary calculations of wing/store configurations in the next section will not be based on station-by-station
approach for computational time efficiency. Instead, the reference station will be assumed as if it is 75% of
span distance away from the wing root.
Aerodynamic loads must take account of sweep angle effects since the flutter boundary of AGARD 445.6
wing can strongly be affected from the non-zero parameter value. The aerodynamic modeling is based on
Theodorsen function and its associated aerodynamics. Since the regarding wings of the present work all
have thin airfoil sections with small thickness values, Theodorsen function is expected to provide a good
approximation for the aerodynamic model.

where Lh , Lα , Mh , Mα are functions of reduced frequency and Theodorsen function. They can be specified
by algebraic functions in terms of reduced frequency. Final equations of motion that lead to the solution
of flutter speed are determined after combining the structural and aerodynamic terms by counting on taper
ratio effect with respect to reference station. System of equations can finally be represented in basic forms

validated by a three dimensional generic wing model and can be applied to a more realistic wing configuration
as in the next part. Henceforward, the wing model of interest will be AGARD 445.6.

experimental results.
Flutter analysis of AGARD 445.6 wing is performed by using the pre-determined natural frequencies and
flutter equations. In flutter calculation procedure, the necessary design parameters of the wing are taken from
CAD model constructed in CATIA V5 by Nikbay et. al21 and also determined from the known geometrical
properties of the standard configuration. Material properties of weakened model and experimental results
for flutter analysis are given in the work of Yates.22

Natural frequency determination employs Euler-Bernoulli beam equations. Euler-Bernoulli solution was
previously investigated for AGARD 445.6 wing by Kamakoti,23 Kamakoti and Shyy,24 Kamakoti et. al.25
The modeling can be based on the use of plate/shell elements, however bending and torsional natural frequen-
cies calculated with beam assumption agree well with the results calculated with plate element assumption.23
Beam elements are chosen since they provide an advantegous solution with a simplified procedure24 while
still providing rather accurate results. The results determined by Kamakoti23 with 10 beam elements for the
first bending and the first torsion modes are almost equivalent to the results in the work of Yates26 which
employs 120 plate elements. Therefore, Euler-Bernoulli equations are used to calculate natural frequencies
of AGARD 445.6 in the present work.
Flutter speed of AGARD 445.6 wing is calculated for Mach number of 0.9011 by using analytically
determined natural frequency values and then compared to the experimental results stated by Yates22 and
the work of Kolonay27 in Table 5. The relative errors show the differences between the present work and
experiment while variation of flutter frequency with respect to artificial damping term, g, is shown in Figure
6.
Flutter frequency and flutter speed of analytical solution well-agree with the experimental results. Since
the analysis for standard configuration results with success, the same solution procedure can be extended
for the flutter analysis of AGARD 445.6 wing/store configurations as in Section V.

Optimum design noteworthily improves the flutter boundary of AGARD 445.6 wing. Since flutter is a
catastrophic aeroelastic phenomenon, any increase in its boundary provides a more reliable flight. Optimum
flutter speed and improvement with respect to initial configuration are expressed in Table 7.

related masses place. The addition of inertia moments of the store loads to the solution process comprises
a similar approach. The flutter solution is based on a station-by-station analysis considering the sections
at which store loads are located. The store loads are assumed to be mounted at the center of gravity
of the relevant sections. The minimum flutter speed value among all calculations for regarded stations
is designated as the flutter speed of the wing/store configuration. The updated flutter coefficients of the
solution determinant with store loads effects are summarized in (24) to (27).

where Iwy is total inertia moment of clean wing and Isy is inertia moment of store load for the corre-
sponding station in flutter analysis. Similarly, mw indicates the mass of clean wing while ms is the mass of
external load which is placed on the station of interest.
The remaining solution is the same with the presented procedure for flutter calculation of three dimen-
sional clean wing models. The effects of pylon structure and store aerodynamics are neglected. The solution
procedure is firstly validated by using Goland wing and an external store which is placed in different stations
along wing span as in the work of Fazelzadeh,29 and then implemented into aeroelastic design optimization
of AGARD 445.6 wing/store configurations with 3, 4 and 5 stations of store placements respectively.
Reference design parameters of the benchmark model are shown in Table 8 while experimental30 and
numerical29 flutter speed results are depicted and compared with the calculated results in Table 9. The
relative error, presented by Table 9, states the percentage error of the determined flutter speed with respect
to experimental result. Flutter speed-damping term plots are shown in Figure 9 to 12 for various store
positions, ys .

The total store mass is 1.25 kg and it is equally distributed on stations. The optimization problem involves
flutter speed maximization objective while design parameters are defined as distances of store stations mea-
sured from the root of the wing. Although the external loads are modeled as point masses for a preliminary
application, this approach is not realistic. Constraints are determined for distances between successive sta-
tions to place the related masses in a more realistic manner. General representation of the optimization
problem is given in (28) to (35) by regarding 5 stations of store placements. Constraint functions and design
variables can be defined in the same manner for 3 and 4 stations cases while the design objective is also same
for each optimization application.

wings. An in-house code developed for flutter calculation is extended in a way to parametrically define the
solution steps in terms of input variables which are taper ratio, sweep angle, elasticity and shear modulus
of the wing, and coupled with an optimization framework to perform flutter based design optimization of
AGARD 445.6 clean wing model. Next, the flutter solution is enhanced to examine the flutter boundary of
wing/store configurations. Structural effects of store loads are examined while the updated methodology is
validated by an example using Goland wing with an external store placed on different stations along wing
span.
One of the main concern of this work is to construct the most efficient store loads placement based
on flutter criterion. Therefore, the optimum placement of store loads on initial and previously optimized
AGARD 445.6 clean wing models are investigated. The wing/store configurations comprise of 3, 4 and 5
stations of store placements however the most efficient case is determined as 3-stations loading.
Finally, uncertainty based flutter analyses of clean wing and wing/store models are performed to investi-
gate the effects of structural uncertainties. Random parameters are assigned as material properties of clean
wing structure, and locations and masses of store loads. Uncertainty quantification is accomplished by MCS
method with 1% and 5% of COV estimates. 105 samples for each random variable bring about the rather
accurate probabilistic results. Minimum flutter boundaries should be taken into account for maximum relia-
bility. The difference between deterministic and probabilistic results is a significant indication which points
out the necessity of probabilistic approach in aircraft design.
Developed flutter solution methodology forms a basis for the flutter analysis and flutter based optimiza-
tion of more complex structures and may be extended for military and civilian purposes and requirements
as future work. Structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities must be adapted to the solution procedure for
a more realistic application such as a fighter aircraft wing. In addition, all structural and aerodynamic
effects of store loads must be considered in calculations. Static aeroelastic responses and instabilities such
as divergence and control reversal may also be incorporated into design and optimization process of wing
and wing/store configurations for a more competent design.
