Improve the performance of a semi-active flapping airfoil power generator by adjusting both offsetting mass center displacement and changing pitching axis position

A comprehensive investigation was carried out in this study, to evaluate the effect of changing pitching axis position and offsetting mass center displacement on the power extraction performance of a semi-active flapping airfoil power generator (FAPG). Unlike previously published literature, the pit...
