Abstract: A recently developed three-dimensional viscous aeroelastic solver is applied to the solution of nonlinear panel flutter. The solution scheme implicitly couples a well validated Navier-Stokes code with a finite-difference ...

Abstract: The increasing demand to employ sharp-edged geometries in airframe design of advanced fighters to meet stealth requirements has nudged research to explore the new aerodynamic and dynamic characteristics of such configurations. ...

Abstract: This is the first of two papers concerning the fluid and structural dynamic characteristics of membrane wing microair vehicles. In this paper, a (three) batten-reinforced fixed-wing membrane ...

Abstract: In the second paper of the two part study of membrane microair vehicles, computations are performed for a plunging membrane airfoil. The computational model uses a sixth-order finite difference ...
