Summary

A study of the effect of linear damping on flutter speed is described. The energy exchange at flutter is considered in each degree of freedom of a general n-degrees-of-freedom system and an energy compatibility equation is formed. An analytical discussion of binary systems, based on the energy compatibility equation, is then presented.
