Abstract
The use of continually updated natural modes, called changing modes, is discussed together with the employment of fixed modes in the design process. 'No-derivatives' methods are considered. The flutter solution process is separated into parts which are mode dependent and parts which are mode independent. On the basis of this separation an attempt is made to identify the type of design problems which are suitable for the use of changing modes, and the type of problems which are more suitable for fixed modes. The use of derivative methods is also examined.
