The dynamics of a fully-passive flapping-foil turbine, operating at a Reynolds number of 3.9×
10 6, is studied via two-dimensional fluid-structure numerical simulations. The foil is allowed …

Experiments were conducted to assess the performance of a fully-passive flapping-foil
hydrokinetic turbine for which the self-induced and self-sustained blade motions are …

Due to the strong nonlinear properties of the entire flutter process including growth stages,
decay stages and steady limit cycle oscillations (LCOs), the generalization of the self-excited …

The nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of a typical bluff bridge section, ie, open twin-side-girder
bridge deck, was investigated through a series of spring-suspended sectional model …

This paper aims to propose a novel model for predicting the nonlinear heave-torsion
coupled flutter instability of flat bridge decks. The nonlinear oscillatory system during …

Based on amplitude-dependent flutter derivatives (FDs), the present study established three-

We report on the dynamics of the formation and growth of the leading-edge vortex and the
corresponding unsteady aerodynamic torque induced by large-scale flow-induced …

The aeroelastic response of a bridge deck at post-critical regime of flutter is featured by limit
cycle oscillation (LCO) due to nonlinearities in both fluid and structural-dynamics. In this …

Nonlinear flutter response with hysteresis loop characteristics is a special aerodynamic
instability phenomenon, and is of great importance and of practical interest to long span …

A testing device that was specially developed for large torsional amplitude vibrations was
adopted to investigate the nonlinear post-flutter behaviors of a typical steel-truss girder …
