This research project led by Mr. Srinivasan Janardhan and team focuses on analyzing flutter and limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) sensitivities to structural parameters, optimizing store-induced flutter delays, and conducting vibration and static analysis using ASTROS and CAP-TSD models. The study aims to enhance aircraft design by automating analysis for various configurations, reducing computational costs, and improving certification processes. By investigating flutter conditions, damping sensitivity, and design optimization, the project seeks to advance aeroelastic analysis stability in aircraft wings with multiple store configurations.
