GUST ALLEVIATION OF A LARGE AIRCRAFT WITH A PASSIVE TWIST WINGTIP

Gust Alleviation of a Large Aircraft with a Passive Twist Wingtip

This paper presents an investigation into the gust response and wing structure load alleviation of a 200-seater aircraft by employing a passive twist wingtip (PTWT).The research was divided into three stages.The first stage was the design and analysis of the baseline aircraft, including aerodynamic analysis, structural design using the finite eleme

Design Improvement of a Viscous-Spring Damper for Controlling Torsional Vibration in a Propulsion Shafting System with an Engine Acceleration Problem

In order to cope with strengthened marine environmental regulations and to reduce fuel consumption, recently constructed vessels are equipped with an ultra-long stroke engine and apply engine de-rating technology.This was intended to improve propulsion efficiency by adopting a larger diameter propeller turning at a lower speed but also results in a

Temperature explains intraspecific functional trait variation in Phragmites australis more effectively than soil properties

Common reed fender two tone amp (Phragmites australis) is a widespread grass species that exhibits a high degree of intraspecific variation for functional traits along environmental gradients.However, the mechanisms underlying intraspecific variation and adaptation strategies in response to environmental gradients on a regional scale remain poorly
