near 70% ch<strong>or</strong>d and the second near 60% ch<strong>or</strong>d. This result is an indication <strong>of</strong> the hysteresis<br />

behavi<strong>or</strong> in the shock structure. The build-up and loss is not as rapid f<strong>or</strong> the 8Hz ±0.5° case, and<br />

the doubled-hinged, do<strong>or</strong>-like motion is m<strong>or</strong>e smooth and rolling. F<strong>or</strong> the 1Hz ±2° case, this<br />

trend is reversed in the 0-10% ch<strong>or</strong>d location, where with increasing AOA, there is lower suction<br />

than with decreasing AOA. This result may be a result <strong>of</strong> higher relative AOA as the nose<br />

pitches down and a vertical component <strong>of</strong> velocity contributes to a higher local AOA, and<br />

theref<strong>or</strong>e m<strong>or</strong>e suction. This region also contains a second “hump,” seen in cycle angles 225°,<br />

270°, and 315°, and the biggest overall pressure variations, which are not seen f<strong>or</strong> the 8 Hz ±0.5°<br />

case. This result is most likely due to the smaller amplitude <strong>of</strong> oscillation. It is hypothesized at<br />

this point that the greatest contribution to the shock motion f<strong>or</strong> the 1Hz case is due to the<br />

significant pressure variation in the 0-10% p<strong>or</strong>tion <strong>of</strong> the airfoil. F<strong>or</strong> the 8Hz case, the LE surface<br />

pressure variation is rather small and the hypothesized contribut<strong>or</strong> to the shock motion is the<br />

plunging motion (causing a velocity vect<strong>or</strong> addition AOA change).<br />

Lissajous Analysis<br />

Lissajous plots <strong>of</strong> -Cp vs. local displacement are generated from the upper surface <strong>of</strong> the<br />

airfoil at various ch<strong>or</strong>d vs. span locations in <strong>or</strong>der to examine the linearity and phase<br />

relationships. -Cp is chosen as the dependent variable since it is prop<strong>or</strong>tional to lift, and the upper<br />

surface <strong>of</strong> the airfoil is being examined. Local displacement is chosen as the independent<br />

variable as opposed to AOA, <strong>or</strong> some other m<strong>or</strong>e typical aerodynamic parameter, due to the fact<br />

that as this w<strong>or</strong>k continues to m<strong>or</strong>e complex motions, i.e. vibration and flutter modes,<br />

comparison will be made in a straightf<strong>or</strong>ward manner with the same technique. A low pass filter<br />

is applied to the data at 100 Hz to filter out the noise due to turbulence effects.<br />

Figure 6-29 and Figure 6-30 illustrate the Lissajous plots f<strong>or</strong> the 1Hz ±2° case, and the 8Hz<br />

±0.5° results are seen in Figure 6-31 and Figure 6-32. The left-hand side <strong>of</strong> Figure 6-29 and<br />
