  • Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

    Creator:
    Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
    Abstract:
    Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

  • Fibers Microbuckling of Uncured Carbon-Epoxy Prepreg in Bending

    Creator:
    Guo, Yizhi
    Abstract:
    Prepreg is widely used in composite manufacturing with advanced composites such as carbon and aramid. The material is characterized by a degree of flexibility (drape) and stickiness (tack), which allows an efficient layup on molds with complex shapes. However, axial instability of compressed fibers during the molding process may occur,...
