Abstract: An improved construction of air-separator device, which has radial-vanes embedded within its inlet circumferential opening with their leading-edges facing the moving tips of the fan rotor-blades ...

Abstract: The stall-prevention effect of air separators incorporating radial vanes in place of the existing axial vanes was investigated on a low-speed, single-stage, lightly loaded axial-flow fan for ...

Abstract: Fluttering conditions were analyzed for webs with a simplified basic configuration with both leading and trailing edges fixed in a uniform flow. The predicted flutter limits are expressed in ...

Abstract: An analytical method is proposed for the prediction of fluttering of a flexible thin sheet or web swept by fluid flow. It assumes self-excited aeroelastic oscillation of the sheet with ...

Abstract: Flutter phenomena of flexible thin sheets such as paper swept by wind are studied for a wide range of mass ratios by an analytical method developed by the authors. The analytical results ...
