...Peter J. Attar; Raymond E. Gordnier; Jordan W. Johnston; William A. Romberg; Ramkumar N. Parthasarathy This is the first of two papers concerning the fluid and structural dynamic characteristics of membrane wing microair vehicles. In this paper, a (three) batten-reinforced fixed-wing membrane...

...Hiraku Sakamoto; K. C. Park The present study explores both structural and controller design to attenuate vibration in large membrane space structures, especially due to low-frequency harmonic excitations. It is very difficult for membrane structures to suppress the low-frequency vibration induced...

... of revolution laminated with piezoelectric neurons. Signal generation of distributed neuron sensors laminated on paraboloidal shells is defined first, based on the open-voltage assumption and Maxwell’s principle. The neuron signal of a linear paraboloidal shell is composed of a linear membrane component...
