Abstract
In this paper linear aeroelastic analysis of a swept wing with two degrees of freedom in an incompressible flow is investigated in time - domain. The equations of the motion of an elastic wing are derived from Lagrange’s equations in time - domain. The wing is modeled as a cantilever beam rigidly connected to the root. Considering assumed modes of cantilever beam, aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the wing are derived using strip - theory in an unsteady incompressible potential fluid flow. The governing aeroelastic equations of the system have been introduced in dimensionless form. These equations are solved via a numerical method. Comparisons between obtained results and both available experimental data and the results of some cited references indicate a close agreement.
