Analytical Modelling and Non-linear Characterisation of Piezoelectric Materials for Actuation and Vibration Control of Beams
(2018-08-29)The use of piezoelectric materials for actuation, and vibration suppression of thin beams, is the subject of study in this doctoral thesis. The initial focus is set on reducing beam vibrations with resistively shunted ... -
Fluid-Elastic Interactions in Flutter And Flapping Wing Propulsion
(2017-10-06)This study seeks to understand the interplay of vorticity and elasto-dynamics that forms the basis for a fluttering flag and flapping wing propulsion, and factors that distinguish one from the other. The fluid dynamics is ... -
Flutter Identification and Aeroelastic Stability during Wake Penetration
Demonstration of utter stability over the design envelope and identi fication of safe ight envelope is a prerequisite for operational clearance of any new aircraft design. An important step involved in flight flutter ... -
Permeability Modeling for Single Scale and Dual Scale Fabrics and its implementation to Fabrics Undergoing Shear
Composites have found applications, right from high-end aerospace structures to naval and land-based structures. These structures are realized by manufacturing processes like, autoclave and vacuum assisted resin transfer ... -
Shocks, Shock-Boundary Layer Interaction, And Transonic Flutter
(2017-09-27)Transonic utter is an aeroelastic instability characterized by part-chord shocks over an airfoil and single mode oscillations leading to a drop in the utter boundary. We present a numerical study that examines the influence ...
