Abstract : Having recalled the kinematic structural stability (ki.s.s) issue and its solution for divergence-type instability, we address the same problem for flutter-type instability for the minimal required configuration of dimensions - meaning 3 degree of freedom systems. We first get a sufficient non optimal condition. In a second time, the complete issue is tackled by two different ways leading to same results. A first way using calculations on Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds that may be generalized for any dimensional configuration. A second way using the specific dimensional configuration is brought back to calculations on the sphere. Differences with divergence ki.s.s are highlighted and examples illustrate the results.
