The Clapping Book: Wind-Driven Oscillations in a Stack of Elastic Sheets

We present a hybrid experimental and theoretical study on the behavior exhibited by multiple thin sheets under aerodynamic loading. clapping book consists of a stack of paper, clamped at the downstream placed in a wind tunnel with steady flow. As pages lift off, they a bent stack held up by the wind...
