Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The recent progress in data-driven science and engineering is making an impact in the multidisciplinary field of aerospace. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been introduced in the aerospace field for applications connected to reducing environmental impacts, including testing and evaluation, data analysis and interpretation, and aircraft modelling. These techniques are also employed to generate databases at a reduced cost, which are needed for the solution of optimization problems. With particular regard to aeroacoustics, artificial intelligence can help to address the issues of noise prediction, buffeting and fluid–structure interaction, aeroacoustic optimization, and noise localization.

This Special Issue welcomes papers on analytical, computational, or experimental studies contributing to the state of the art on the use of artificial intelligence in aeroacoustics, including topics such as:

  • New aircraft configurations aimed at reducing noise and pollution emissions;
  • Novel active or passive flow control techniques for noise reduction;
  • Numerical methods for aeroacoustic modeling;
  • Buffeting and wall pressure fluctuations;
  • Physical-informed neural networks applied to aeroacoustics.

Finally, we would like to thank Dr. Giorgia Capobianchi for her valuable work in assisting us with this Special Issue.

This study investigates the application of deep learning models—specifically Deep Neural Networks (DNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks (LSTM-NN)—to predict panel flutter in aerospace structures. The goal is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of predicting aeroelastic behaviors under various flight conditions. Utilizing a supersonic flat plate as the main structure, the research integrates various flight conditions into the aeroelastic equation. The resulting structural vibration data create a large-scale database for training the models. The dataset, divided into training, validation, and test sets, includes input features such as panel aspect ratio, Mach number, air density, and decay rate. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate hidden layers, epochs, and neurons to avoid overfitting. While DNN, LSTM, and LSTM-NN all showed improved training with more neurons and layers, excessive numbers beyond a certain point led to diminished accuracy and overfitting. Performance-wise, the LSTM-NN model achieved the highest accuracy in classification tasks, effectively capturing sequential features and enhancing classification precision. Conversely, LSTM excelled in regression tasks, adeptly handling long-term dependencies and complex non-linear relationships, making it ideal for predicting flutter Mach numbers. Despite LSTM’s higher accuracy, it required longer training times due to increased computational complexity, necessitating a balance between accuracy and training duration. The findings demonstrate that deep learning, particularly LSTM-NN, is highly effective in predicting panel flutter, showcasing its potential for broader aerospace engineering applications. By optimizing model architecture and training processes, deep learning models can achieve high accuracy in predicting critical aeroelastic phenomena, contributing to safer and more efficient aerospace designs.
