Flow-induced rudder system vibration has a great influence on the stealthiness of underwater vehicles. In order to study the vibration characteristics of rudder systems, a mathematical model of a binary linear flutter rudder system is built according to ...

Application of dynamical systems theory to the high angle of attack dynamics of the F-14 [PDF]
Dynamical systems theory has been used to study the nonlinear dynamics of the F-14. An eight degree of freedom model that does not include the control system present in operational F-14's has been analyzed.

Optimal Universal Controllers for Roll Stabilization [PDF]
Roll stabilization is an important problem of ship motion control. This problem becomes especially difficult if the same set of actuators (e.g. a single rudder) has to be used for roll stabilization and heading control of the vessel, so that the roll ...

High-efficiency airfoil rudders applied to submarines
Modern submarine design puts forward higher and higher requirements for control surfaces, and this creates a requirement for designers to constantly innovate new types of rudder so as to improve the efficiency of control surfaces.

Investigation of Asymmetric Twin-Rudder Load Behaviour Through Free-Running Model Tests
During tight manoeuvres, twin-screw ships equipped with two rudders located in the propeller slip stream experience a fairly large imbalance in the hydrodynamic loads on the propeller and rudders.

Experimental studies on seakeeping and maneuverability of ships in adverse weather conditions [PDF]
The introduction of the energy efficiency design index (EEDI), which is applicable for various types of new-built ships after January 1,2013, raised concerns regarding the sufficiency of propulsion power and steering devices to maintain maneuverability ...

Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

This paper presents the studies to develop structural highly orthotropic panels. These types of panels provide the capabilities required for structural morphing. They are highly deformable in one given direction and in the perpendicular one must be compliant to sustain the internal loads per certification stiffness and strength requirements.

Wave effects on the turning ability of an ultra large container ship in shallow water [PDF]
The influence of waves on ship behaviour can lead to hazardous scenarios which put at risk the ship, the crew and the surroundings. For this reason, investigating the effect of waves on manoeuvring is of relevant interest.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),
