To systematically investigate the mechanisms of thermal degradation and damping effects on panel flutter boundaries and responses, an aeroelastic model incorporating thermal degradation and damping terms was developed, followed by a sensitivity analysis of key parameters based on stability criteria. Firstly, based on the von Kármán plate large deformation theory, the Kelvin damping model, and the first-order piston theory, a two-dimensional supersonic panel dynamic equation was established. This equation considered thermal degradation and damping effects. Spatial discretization was achieved using the Galerkin method. Next, the Lyapunov indirect method and the Routh-Hurwitz criterion were used to obtain stability region diagrams for various degrees of thermal degradation. This identified the number and stability of equilibrium points in each region. Finally, the nonlinear ordinary differential equations were solved using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to determine the panel’s nonlinear aeroelastic response. This response was analyzed using nonlinear dynamic tools, such as time history plots, phase trajectory diagrams, and bifurcation diagrams. The results indicate that both thermal degradation and material damping significantly reduce the stability region of the panel. Panel thickness also influences the stability region. An increase in the thermal degradation coefficient not only amplifies the panel’s vibration amplitude but also causes the bifurcation points to appear earlier, accelerating the bifurcation evolution process. Furthermore, thermal degradation significantly increases the diversity of panel response types and their sensitivity to system parameters. In addition, material damping effectively suppresses the panel’s quasi-periodic and chaotic vibrations responses.
