Abstract: The conceptual design of effective actuation mechanisms for flapping wing micro air vehicles presents considerable challenges, with competing weight, power, authority, and life cycle requirements. ...

Abstract: The research used the transonic small disturbance theory to better understand the dynamic aeroelastic phenomena and factors that affect the onset of flutter and store induced limit-cycle oscillations (LCO) in the transonic ...

Abstract: The nonlinear panel flutter problem solved by Dowell in 1966 is used to investigate the new application of the proper orthogonal decomposition model reduction technique to aeroelastic analysis. ...
