Sentence examples for wing stiffness from inspiring English sources
The results indicate that by proper adjustment of the wing stiffness parameter, as a function of reduced frequency, the FMAV will attain its optimum propulsive efficiency.
Here, we use an experimental apparatus to investigate the effects of a wing's twisting stiffness on the generated thrust force and the power required at different flapping frequencies.
The aeroelastic responses of the folding wing with cubic stiffness are simulated, and the results show that the motion types of aeroelastic responses in the quasi-steady condition and during the morphing process are all sensitive to the initial condition and folding angle.
Most insects control their wings by adjusting tilt, stiffness, and flapping frequency of the wings with tiny muscles in the thorax (below).
We used only fully coloured and therefore sexually mature animals but made sure that they were not too old by checking their wings for damage and stiffness [ 11, 22]: those with damaged wings were excluded.
In this study, an optimization problem is formed to enhance the in-plane flexibility and bending stiffness of wing skins made of composite laminate.
Torsional stiffness of the wing and the distribution of mass along the wing are calculated.
Numerical results indicate improvements of aeroelastic stability of variable-stiffness wings over conventional, constant-stiffness ones.
The limit cycle flutter of a two-dimensional wing with non-linear pitching stiffness is investigated.
Contrary thereto the structural set-up of a commercial aeroplane, with e.g. the high mass concentration of the turbine or the high stiffness of the wing box compared to other parts, is different.
