Unsteady Aerodynamic and Aeroelastic Analysis of Flapping Flight

Unsteady Aerodynamic and Aeroelastic Analysis of Flapping Flight

The unsteady aerodynamic and aeroelastic analysis of flapping flight under various kinematics and flow parameters is presented in this dissertation. The main motivation for this study arises from the challenges facing the development of micro air vehicles. Micro air vehicles by requirement are compa...
