Abstract
Methods and systems for analyzing flutter test data using non-linear transfer function frequency response fitting are provided. In one embodiment, a plurality of data points are read, with each data point representing a motion of an aeroelastic structure (e.g. an aircraft surface) at a different location. A closed form fit to the plurality of data points is performed to obtain an initial curve fit condition. At least one non-linear transfer function frequency response curve fit is then performed to the plurality of data points.
