Please join the Western Washington - ASME section for a special presentation from Dr. Gautam SenGupta. The presentation topic will be modeling aircraft transonic flutter.
Airplanes, which are designed to cruise at transonic speeds, must be free of aerodynamic flutter during flight. This presentation will discuss the steps of flutter prediction: (1) Vibration characteristics of the aircraft structure (2) Transonic characteristics of the flow field and (3) Coupling of the two disciplines.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Gautam SenGupta received his degrees in Mechanical Engineering in India and PhD from the University of Southampton, England. He spent a year at NASA-Langley as a Research Associate. He joined Boeing in 1973 and retired as a Boeing Technical Fellow in 2016. At Boeing, he developed innovative methods for controlling interior noise in airplanes. He was also involved in verifying and validating a CFD-based method for predicting transonic flutter characteristics of airplanes. After retirement, he served as an Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington, where he taught courses on Structural Dynamics and related subjects.
