Description:
<jats:p> This study outlines the flutter characteristics of aeroelastic wings under unsteady aerodynamic loading based on an efficient support vector machine assisted k-method. First, the aeroelastic wing flutter speed and flutter frequency are obtained using k-method. Then, the uncertain input parameters distribution is modeled by probability density functions. These parameters are propagated to the aeroelastic wing equations. The Monte Carlo simulation using 12 parallel logical threads is carried out to obtain the flutter speed and the flutter frequency distribution. An optimal robust surrogate model is trained by limited numbers of input and output using support vector machine. Monte Carlo simulation is also carried out in conjunction with the machine learning based k-method computational framework for obtaining the complete probabilistic description of flutter speed and flutter frequency. The coupled support vector regression based k-method is a novel approach that is first used in the aeroelastic wings flutter. The present method is found to reduce the computational time and cost significantly without compromising the accuracy of results. </jats:p>
