Controlling the Chaotic Motions of an Airfoil with a Nonlinear Stiffness Using Closed-Loop Harmonic Parametric Excitation

The purpose of this research is to conduct a preliminary investigation into the possibility of suppressing the flutter and post-flutter (chaotic) responses of a two-dimensional self-excited airfoil with a cubic nonlinear stiffness (in torsion) and linear viscous damping via closed-loop harmonic para...
