Investigation of the effects of wing membrane slackness on thrust generation by Chua, Jasper Dong Qiu

“…The theory for flapping wing aerodynamics is that, by increasing the angle of attack of the wing, the wing is able to achieve an increasing lift coefficient and in turn a larger lift force until a maximum is reached. …”

“Clicking” compliant mechanism for flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by Chin, Yao-Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…This paper presented a click mechanism, which is inspired by a Dipteran insect, for use in flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle. The clicking mechanism is integrated in a thorax-like compliant mechanism, which buckles and consequently produces a large wing stroke when driven by an electric motor. …”

Reconstituting ring-rafts in bud-mimicking topography of model membranes by Ryu, Yong-Sang, Lee, In-Ho, Suh, Jeng-Hun, Park, Seung Chul, Oh, Soojung, Jordan, Luke R., Wittenberg, Nathan J., Oh, Sang-Hyun, Jeon, Noo Li, Lee, Byoungho, Parikh, Atul N., Lee, Sin-Doo

“…In all cases, in addition to the generation or relief of the curvature stress, the buds recruit specific lipids and proteins from the donor membrane through restricted diffusion for the development of a ring-type raft domain of closed topology. Here, by reconstituting the bud topography in a model membrane, we demonstrate the preferential localization of cholesterol- and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains in the collar band of the bud-neck interfaced with the donor membrane. …”
