The effects of a freeplay structural nonlinearity on an aeroelastic system are studied experimentally. Particular attention is paid to the stability of a periodic nonlinear aeroelastic response, known ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...

Aeroelastic control systems represent a critical intersection between aerodynamic theory and structural dynamics, addressing the complex interactions that give rise to flutter – a self-excited ...

Flutter stability in turbomachinery is a fundamental aspect of aeroelasticity that directly influences the operational safety and efficiency of engines and compressors. This phenomenon, which ...

In order to enhance aircraft efficiency designers are increasingly utilizing lightweight, high aspect ratio wing designs. This is because lower weight means less energy is required to keep the ...
