The stability boundaries of a very flexible wing are sought to inform a wind-tunnel flutter test
campaign. The objective is twofold: to identify via simulation the relevant physical processes …

Free-play-induced nonlinear dynamic behavior has been one of the most important topics of
aeroelastic research in recent decades. In this paper, the describing function (DF) method is …

In this study, an experimental investigation is performed on a scaled, all-movable horizontal
tail to study the aeroelastic behaviors induced by multiple free-plays. The dynamic response …

The pursuit of more efficient transport has led engineers to develop a wide variety of aircraft
