Hydroelastic studies of bluff cylinders

Uniform water flow past cylinders of various cross-sections produces oscillating lift and drag forces. In the tests made in this investigation the cylinders were elastically mounted on a cantilever of known stiffness. The experiments were carried out to obtain a series of two-dimensional vibration r...
