Abstract

This chapter focuses on investigating the response characteristics of a coupled non-smooth nonlinear aeroelastic system subjected to randomly fluctuating inflow. The non-smoothness in the structure can be attributed to freeplay nonlinearity, and the aerodynamic loads are dictated by dynamic stall condition. Stochastic inflow gives rise to noise-induced intermittency (NII) in the nonlinear aeroelastic response as the mean speed is varied. In order to identify a stable bifurcation boundary ensuring structural safety, it is essential to understand the physical mechanism of NII near the transition boundaries. To that end, a qualitative stochastic bifurcation analysis on the transition route is carried out. Subsequently, the regimes that can impact the safety of aeroelastic operations are identified by computing the corresponding fatigue damage using rain-flow counting (RFC) algorithm. The fatigue damage analysis shows significant increase in damage value due to combined effect of coupled nonlinearities and stochastic inflow.
