Abstract
Nonlinear aeroelastic behavior is examined. This research extends the effort of severaldynamic modeling that includes the existence of structural non-linear factors such as:
free-play and softening/hardening spring effects. The authors consider the flutterphenomena as a dynamic system constructed in the form of power bond graph. Theexternal loads of the system are modeled as an unsteady aerodynamic filter based on Pad
approximation rational function. By converting the bond graph model into equivalentblock diagram, the analysis of structural response can be carried out directly in time
domain that may enable to model the non-linearity accurately.
Key words:non-linear flutter, system dynamics, bond graph, modeling and simulation.

I. Introduction
Aeroelasticity is the phenomena resulting from the interaction of structural,inertial and aerodynamic forces. The aerodynamic loads on aircraft wing vary with the
speed of the flow and depend on the structural response. Usually, the unsteady
aerodynamic loads are divided into two parties i.e. the component that supports thestructural movement and the other that resists the movement. The structural damping of
wing structure can be normally neglected, therefore when the aerodynamic and structuralloads are in balance, it will produce a harmonic oscillation. This kind of vibration
happens at certain speed of the flow called the flutter boundary. Above this critical flowspeed, there will be an unbalance of energy that flows into the structure compared withthe dissipated energy, consequently the vibration grows divergently until disintegration of
the structure. In the case of classical flutter, a coupled bending and torsion modes ofvibration are excited at the critical speed. In this critical condition both modes agitate
each other as two frequencies approach one to another in term of flow speed, hence thereis transfer of energy between the two modes so called the internal resonance. Sometimesthe aeroelastic system contains non-linearity factors. These non-linearities result from
unsteady aerodynamic sources, large strain-displacement conditions, or the partial lost ofstructural and control integrity. The such system can render non-linear dynamic response
characteristics like limit cycle oscillation, internal resonance and chaotic motion.Flutter analysis is generally executed by mathematical modeling based on
Lagrange equation and completed by solving the complex determinant of the equation in
frequency domain. However in this paper, the analysis of the problem is carried out in thephysical model rather than the mathematical equation derivation. The aeroelastic problem
is modeled and analyzed by using power bond graph method. In this method, thephenomenon is considered as a dynamic system that consists of interacting sub-systemsand/or components. All the elements within the system are connected each others by
energy bonding where the power flows through. The types of the basic elements thatconstruct the system are: the storing/dissipating energy components, energy transmitters,
and junctions, beside the sources of energy as the external excitations. For the case ofaeroelastic problems where the external excitation is a function of structural response, theenergy source component has the feed back input signals from the model, therefore it can
be considered as a filter or transfer function block. The aerodynamic loads excite thestructure and the same time is induced by structural response. To model this so-called
aero-filter, an approximation rational function in Laplace variable is needed. Thecoefficients of the function can be determined using least-square curve fitting techniqueapplying to unsteady aerodynamic forces that calculated in frequency domain. The
unsteady aerodynamic forces are resolved generally in certain reduced frequencies andmode shapes using singularity method. For the case of 3 dimensional flow, MSC.Nastran
using acceleration double lattice method is applicable.By using the common rules and procedures [2] the power bond diagram can beconstructed for a certain dynamic system and the interaction mechanism (known as
causal stroke) amongst the components can be determined. Once the graph is completed,one can convert it into its equivalent block diagram, hence the system can be simulated
using dynamic simulation software like Simulink-MATLAB. Since the analysis is carried

out directly in time domain, the structural non-linear factors as function of dynamicresponse can be modeled accurately.

II. Problem Definition
The idea of this research is to make a software based on power bond graphtechnique to solve the multi-degree of freedom aeroelastic problem with the existence of
non-linear structural factors. To validate this method, the dynamic simulation will be
compared with an experimental wind tunnel results of two degree of freedom airfoil withquadratic/cubic stiffness. In the dynamic modeling of the above physical model, all
variables are taken in modal coordinate to cover the generality of multi-degree offreedom system. Considering that the flow is in 2D, the Theodorsen function [3] will be
used to generate the unsteady aerodynamic loads instead of doublet distribution.
2.1. Review of Bond Graph Technique
For the sake of clarity, the concept of this method will be briefly discussed. In this
method, the various elements are connected by means of power bonds representing dualvariables called effort (e) and flow (f). A bond is represented by a half arrow which at thesame time means the direction of power flow. Within a bond the direction of effort
variable is always in opposite to the flow variable due to the nature, and the product ofboth variables signifies the power magnitude. The arrangement of this causal stroke is
put in order using a common regulation and depends on the configuration of the system.The basic elements used in modeling and simulation of the aeroelastic problems are:
1-port element: Resistor (dissipating energy component), Capacitor and Inertia
(storing energy components).
2-port element: Transformer and Gyrator (components that transmit the energy).
Multi-port element: serial (1) and parallel (0) junctions.

Consider a structural dynamic problem in the form of multi degree of freedom
system as explained in figure 4. The dynamic response of the structure due to the externalloads can be written in the following expression where some limited modes areconsidered and temporal variables are separated from spatial domain:

Hence for structural dynamic problem represented in generalized coordinate, can bemodeled in power bond graph as explained in Figure 7, where the natural coordinate

2.3. Aeroelasticity in Bond Graph Modeling
The equation of motion of an aeroelastic system in modal coordinate is expressed
by the equation 2, where the external loads are the function of structural response. Byassuming that the flow is two dimensional, the aerodynamic lift and moment of the wing
can be modeled by the unsteady aerodynamic theory of Theodorsen [3] :

where C is Theodorsens function that depends on the reduced frequency, k = b/V~ ,
which explains the delay factor of the lifting part of the loads. The functions of (t)andy(t) show the dynamic response of the structure. It is noted that both equations 4 and 5,
represent incompressible, small disturbance unsteady flow. The unsteady aerodynamicforces in the form of generalized coordinate are approximated in Laplace variable using

where q is the aerodynamic pressure, m are the lagging terms. The matrix coefficientsA0, A1, A2 and Bm are calculated by using least-square technique of curve fitting [5] toapproach the aerodynamic forces that calculated separately in frequency domain. Therational equation above, in time domain analysis, can be considered as a filter that relates
the structural response and the generated loads as shown in Figure 8.

In constructing the aeroelastic model in the form of bond graph, this aero-filter is used as

III. Analysis
The equivalent block diagram for the aeroelastic model can be constructed as the
directions of power flow and causal strokes are known. The corresponding block diagram
converted from Figure 7 for two degree of freedom movement i.e. heaving and pitching isexplained in the following figure:

The dynamic simulation can be executed directly in time domain using Simulink-
MATLAB. In the case of structural non-linearities, based on the equation (7) and (8) theblock diagram for the stiffness is modeled as follows:

To simulate the flow induced vibration problem, the structural model on Figure 11 needs
to be coupled with the unsteady aerodynamic loads explained by the aero-filter on figure-8. The coefficients of aero-filter are determined by calculating the unsteady aerodynamicloads (equations 4 and 5) for the circulatory components only. The aerodynamic
modeling in the form of Pade approximation function shows a good accuracy aspresented in the Figures 13. The number of lagging terms used in the rational function in
s variable is important to approximate the aerodynamic forces in frequency domain. Inthis case 4 lagging terms were used, i.e. 0.10, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 .

For the case with the existence of nonlinear stiffness parameters in translation androtation modes, the results of simulation are given in Figure 15.

IV. Discussion
As explained in reference [1], the test apparatus of the aeroelastic physical model
permits nonlinear pitch and plunge response of a rigid wing section, and the design of thetest apparatus permits independent motion in both degree of freedom. From figure 3 ofreference [1], nonlinear structural response in the experiments is governed by a pair of
cams, which are designed to permit tailored linear or non-linear response. The shape eachcam that adjusts the spring deflection, dictates the nature of the non-linearity. Figure 4 of
reference [1] shows us the free vibration response at the zero speed of flow. From thisfigure the natural frequencies for heaving and pitching modes can be determined. Byusing logarithmic decrement technique, from the time response of free vibrations, the
structural damping factors of the mechanism were predicted and considered as viscousdamping. These parameters were taken into account in the bond graph simulation.
Comparing with Figure 5 of reference [1], from the results of simulation on Simulinkshown in Figure 14, one may conclude that the flutter response in linear case gives agood correlation with experimental results.
In the case of nonlinear stiffness, it is shown in Figure 15 that the aeroelastic vibrationsappear in the form of limit cycle oscillations. By confronting these simulation results with
the experiments in figure 7 of reference [1], one may conclude that the form of theresponse and the magnitude give a sense of similarity.

V. Conclusion
The power bond graph modeling for aeroelastic system with the existence ofstructural non-linearities has been discussed. Simulation in case of two degree of freedom
system wing section in heaving and pitching modes with 2 dimensional incompressible
flow, shows a good relationship with experimental results. In dynamic modeling, the2DoF system was presented in modal coordinate after being transformed from natural
coordinate, to confirm the generality in multi-degree of freedom structural dynamicproblems. In general, for real continuous structure, the finite element modeling can be
done by using MSC.Nastran to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes.Since the dynamic modeling is conducted directly in physical problem rather than themathematical equation, this method is practical to use for multi-degree of freedom real
wing structure. And due to the fact that the simulation is executed directly in timedomain, consequently the non-linear factor of structure will be convenient to handle,
beside the high accuracy of the non-linearity model. The inaccuracies of the simulationfor the most part, should be traced from structural dynamic finite element modeling, andunsteady aerodynamic computation using singularities including rational approximation
function.
