In this paper, we propose a damage identification method based on minimum mean square error estimation for a wind tunnel flexible plate condition monitoring system. Critical structural members of important equipment are large in size, and the measure...
Transonic/supersonic wind tunnels are indispensable equipment for advanced aircraft to operate across subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes. The deformation of the flexible nozzle is the key to accurately controlling the Mach number of transoni...
The jet fan system is a widely adopted form of longitudinal ventilation due to its cost-effectiveness, operational flexibility, and high reliability. However, in large-section highway tunnels with a low height-to-span ratio, the limited clearance bet...
Flow-induced vibrations and the sound radiation of flexible plate structures of different thickness mounted in a rigid plate are experimentally investigated. Therefore, flow properties and turbulent boundary layer parameters are determined through me...
Smart deformable structures that integrate designing, sensing, and controlling technology have been widely applied in the fields of aerospace, robotics, and biomedical engineering due to their multi-functional requirements. The deformation reconstruc...
The temperature-sensitive paint (TSP) method, an optical measurement technique, is used for qualitative skin friction visualizations in a wide variety of aerodynamic applications. One such application is the visualization of the laminar–turbule...
In this work, micro air vehicles (MAVs) equipped with bio-inspired wings are investigated experimentally in wind tunnel. The starting point is that insects such as dragonflies, butterflies and locusts have wings with rigid tubular elements (corrugati...
