Abstract The panel flutter formulation studied here includes a geometricnonlinearity. In a physical sense, the nonlinearity represents couplingbetween out-of-plane bending and in-plane stretching. To investigate theinitial condition response, the pseudo-arclength continuation method isapplied to this problem. The continuation method is an alternatenumerical method that complements direct numerical integration. Thelatter procedure is not necessarily computationally efficient when theparameter space under consideration is large. One strength ofcontinuation methods then is the ability to efficiently and accuratelydisplay the solution space, including certain bifurcations, for dynamicsystems. Results from the procedure are in substantial agreement withearlier studies, where applicable, where the panel undergoes cylindricalbending.
