Design of a Flapping Fins Mechanism for Roll Damping of Yachts at Anchor: Kinematic, Hydrodynamic and Structural Study

The design of a flapping fins stabilization system for yachts at anchor (zero speed conditions) is presented in this study. The solution presented in this manuscript took inspiration from a solution proposed for the design of a biologically inspired flapping UAV. Although the application was differe...
