An investigation of finite wings with leading edge protuberances by Gan, Christopher De Hao

“…In the present study, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was carried out in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 2.0 x 10^4 to investigate the cross stream flow around finite wings with leading-edge protuberances. Results obtained confirm that the protuberances lead to the generation of counter-rotating vortex pairs (CVPs), similar to the function of vortex generators. …”

An experimental investigation of vibration testing of aircraft wing structure by Chew, Chor Loon.

“…This report presents the experimental investigation and vibration analysis of an aircraft wing structure using impact testing. The importance of obtaining its vibration characteristics such as the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the aircraft wing structure to prevent flutter phenomena that can eventually lead to structural failure is also reviewed. …”

“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. …”
