Integrated strain actuation in aircraft with highly flexible composite wings
… combines a new large displacement, strain-based finite element beam formulation with a finite-state unsteady aerodynamics model and a thin-wall active beam cross section model. The tool was created with the flexibility to model different aircraft configurations, including unconventional ones such …

Dynamical System Representation and Analysis of Unsteady Flow and Fluid-Structure Interactions
… utilized to reduce the representation order of unsteady fluid flows and fluid-structure interaction systems. This approach allows for significant reduction in the computational cost of their numerical simulations, implementation of optimization and control methodologies and assessment of their …

Mechanics of Flapping Flight: Analytical Formulations of Unsteady Aerodynamics, Kinematic Optimization, Flight Dynamics and Control
… From the aerodynamic point of view, a nonlinear, unsteady flow is created by the flapping motion. In addition, non-conventional contributors, such as the leading edge vortex, to the aerodynamic loads become dominant in flight. On the other hand, the flight dynamics of a FWMAV constitutes a …
