A review of various analytical methods and experimental results of supersonic and hypersonic panel flutter is presented. The analytical methods are categorized into two main methods. The first category is the classical methods, which include Galerkin in conjunction with numerical integration, harmonic balance and perturbation methods. The second category is the finite element methods in either the frequency domain (eigensolution) or the time domain (numerical integration). A review of the experimental literature is given. The effects of different parameters on the flutter behavior are described. The parameters considered include inplane forces, thermal loading, flow direction, and initial curvature. Active control of composite panels at supersonic speeds and elevated temperatures is also considered. This review article cites 84 references.

This study presents flow simulation over the reentry capsule at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. Numerical algorithms solve for the CFD method, which is produced using help ANSYS Fluent 19.2. The using GPU core to get a solution faster. The main purpose – flow simulation and numerical analysis reentry capsule; understand the behavior of supersonic and hypersonic flow and its effect on the reentry capsule; compare temperature results for the range Mach numbers equals 2–6. This study showed results on velocity counters, on temperature counters and vector of velocity for range Mach numbers equals 2–6. This study demonstrates the importance of understanding the effects of shock waves and illustrates how the shock wave changes as the Mach number increases. For every solves, the mesh had adapted for pressure gradient and velocity gradient to get the exact solution. As a result of the obtained solution, it is found that a curved shock wave appears in front of the reentry capsule. The central part of which is a forward shock. An angular expansion process is observed, which is a modified picture of the Prandtl- Mayer flow that occurs in a supersonic flow near the sharp edge of the expanding region. It is revealed that with an increase in the Mach number, the shock wave approaches the bottom of the reentry capsule, and there is also a slope of the shock to the flow direction, with an increase in the Mach number. The relevance and significance of this problem for the design of new and modernization of old reentry capsules.

The analysis of the elastic stresses in high-energy piping systems is a routine calculation in the power and petrochemical industries. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31.1 Power Piping Code was developed for safe design and construction of pressure piping. Postconstruction issues, such as stress relaxation effects and selection of maximum expected creep damage locations, are not addressed in the Code. It has been expensive and time consuming to evaluate creep relaxation stresses in high energy piping systems, such as main steam and hot reheat piping. After prolonged operation of high-energy piping systems at elevated temperatures, it is very difficult to evaluate the redistribution of stresses due to dead weight, pressure, external loading, and thermal loading. The evaluation of stress relaxation and redistribution is especially important when nonideal conditions, such as bottomed-out or topped-out hangers, exist in piping systems. This paper uses three-dimensional four-node quadrilateral shell elements in the ABAQUS finite element code to evaluate the time for relaxation and the nominal relaxation stress values for a portion of a typical high-energy piping system subject to an ideally loaded hanger or to an overloaded hanger. The stress relaxation results are evaluated to suggest an approximation using elastic stress analysis results. [S0094-9930(00)01304-4]
