A graphical method, based on 'classical' flutter theory, is described which provides a simple test of the effectiveness of mass-balancing in the prevention of flutter at various heights. Illustrative applications are made ...
Part I. Possio's Derivative Theory for an Infinite Aerofoil Moving at Subsonic Speeds. The derivative theory due to C. Possio for an infinite aerofoil moving at subsonic speeds is reviewed, and certain modifications are ...
Formulae are obtained which provide an estimate of the amount of artificial control needed to prevent binary flutter. Results are expressed in terms of a 'minimum damping multiplier' R, defined as the ratio of the least ...
