On the Dynamics of Flat Plates in a Fluid Environment: A Study of Inverted Flag Flapping and Caudal Fin Maneuvering

<p>Despite serving analogous functions, the mechanical designs conceived by human engineering and those that result from natural evolution often possess fundamentally differing properties. This thesis explores the use of principles that stem from natural evolution to improve the performance of...
