A rectangular wing is allowed to pitch about the leading edge at a
frequency of 5 Hz . ZONA ZAERO program was used to generate the
M=0.8 Sea Level Generalized Forces. The MATLAB Script
"SDOF_Mpt8_SetUp.m" contains the list of Reduced Velocities (1/K);
the Generalized Mass, the Generalized Stiffness and the Generalized
Forces that corresponds to each Reduced Velocity (1//K ). This is
uploaded to CANVAS Files Folder - Homework.
A. Plot the Real part of the Generalized Force versus Reduced
Frequency (not Reduced Velocity 1//K )
B. Plot the Imaginary part of the Generalized Force versus Reduced
Frequency (not Reduced Velocity 1/K)
C. Make a Plot of damping versus Velocity for the one mode
D. Make a Plot of frequency (Hz) versus Velocity for the one mode
E. From the plots estimate: a) The flutter velocity and b) the flutter
freauency (Hz)
Use the following MATLAB code to solve the problem and modify wherever necessary
