FlutterStatic-divergenceAnisotropyDynamic-load amplificationHydroelasticityWe compare the steady-state and dynamic response of composite lifting surfaces in air and in water. Steady results predict lower (resp. higher) load coefficients when the fibers are oriented toward the leading (resp. trailing) edge...
is small in diameter; it does not alter its round shape. A multiplicity of vertical fins 59 mounted on the ends of short booms are clamped to cables 6 and 7 at suitable spacings along the cables to minimize cable flutter and keep the cables oriented with respect to the air flow for mini...
