Summary

The ‘inverse method’ proposed in 1936 by Duncan, Collar and Lyon for the calculation of flutter boundaries is re-stated in a form suited to modern methods of dynamical and numerical analysis and programmed for use on a home computer. The method is extended to provide information on sub- and supercritical eigenvalues. For a microcomputer with 32K RAM, flutter problems of orders up to 35 may be accurately solved.
