Abstract

Hypersonic vehicles structures suffer complex combined loadings generally. For the thin-walled structures and thermal protection systems of the aircraft, high temperature and intensity acoustic loadings are the significant factors that leading to their break. The object of this paper is typical simply supported titanium alloy plate, the finite element method was adopted to calculate the critical thermal buckling temperature the ordinal coupling method and Newmark method were adopted to calculate the thermal-acoustic dynamic response. Based on the FEM analysis, the power spectrum densities (PSD) of center point was presented. Research results show that the thermal buckling of the typical simply supported titanium alloy plate occurs easily because of the low critical thermal buckling temperature, dynamic response of the thermal buckled plate suffering acoustic loads performs strong nonlinear characteristics and complex forms of exercise.
