Theoretical modeling and experimental analysis of the flight mechanics of Lepidoptera

Creator:

Wilson, Tyler

Abstract:

Development of micro air vehicles has led to a strong interest in the biomechanics of flapping fliers such as bats, birds, and insects, due to their ability to perform extreme unsteady maneuvers and fly in confined spaces. Determining the methods and mechanisms used by these fliers is a valuable source...

Masters Thesis
Modeling, control, and estimation of flexible, aerodynamic structures

Creator:

Ray, Cody W.

Abstract:

Engineers have long been inspired by nature's flyers. Such animals navigate complex environments gracefully and efficiently by using a variety of evolutionary adaptations for high-performance flight. Biologists have discovered a variety of sensory adaptations that provide flow state feedback and allow flying animals to feel their way through flight. A...
