Wing Flutter Tests by a Segmented Aerofoil Model

Derivative Measurements and Flutter Tests on a Model Tapered Wing

Calculation of Wing Flutter by a Coupled Fluid-Structure Method

An integrated computational  uid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) method is developed for the simulation and prediction of  utter. The CFD solver is based on an unsteady, parallel, multiblock, multigrid Ž nite volume algorithm for the Euler/Navier–Stokes equations. The CSD solver is based on the time integration of modal dynamic equations extracted from full Ž nite e...

Flutter Analysis of a Low Aspect Ratio Swept- Back Trapezoidal Wing at Low Subsonic Flow

A linear, aeroelastic analysis of a low aspect ratio swept back trapezoidal wing modeled as a cantilever plate is presented. An analytical and numerical formulation for both the aerodynamic forcing and structural response of the wing was developed. The analytical model uses a three dimensional time domain vortex lattice aerodynamic method. A Rayleigh-Ritz approach has been used to transfer equa...

Smithornis broadbills produce loud wing song by aeroelastic flutter of medial primary wing feathers.

Broadbills in the genus Smithornis produce a loud brreeeeet during a distinctive flight display. It has been posited that this klaxon-like sound is generated non-vocally with the outer wing feathers (P9, P10), but no scientific studies have previously addressed this hypothesis. Although most birds that make non-vocal communication sounds have feathers with a shape distinctively modified for sou...

a numerical model for wing analysis

the study of flight vehicle structures reveals the importance of obtaining the most suitable accuracy compatible with construction. for this purpose, several experiments were conducted at the agard institute. in this paper the results of one such experiment performed on a sample airplane wing are presented. aircraft structural engineers use several methods to model these structures. specifing h...
