Abstract
This study investigates the optimization of functionally graded Nickel-Aluminum plates
under combined thermal and aerodynamic loading conditions, with a specific focus on panel flutter
resistance. The study implements polynomial functions for material distribution optimization,
contributing to the ongoing research in aerospace structural design methodologies. Through finite
element analysis implemented in MATLAB with a 9×9 node distribution, we examined plates with
clamped boundary conditions on all edges, achieving significant improvements in performance
characteristics compared to homogeneous reference cases
