A co-simulation strategy for modeling the unsteady dynamics of flying insects and small
birds as well as biologically inspired flapping-wing micro-air-vehicles is developed in this …

Many marine animals can dynamically twist their pectoral fins while swimming. The effects of
such dynamic twisting on the unsteady forces on the fin and its surrounding flow field are yet …

In terms of their flight and unusual aerodynamic characteristics, mosquitoes have become a
new insect of interest. Despite transmitting the most significant infectious diseases globally …

A methodology to simulate the unsteady, nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of a folding-wing
concept in multiple flight configurations is presented. It is based on a partitioned or co …

Typically, a twisting morphing wing of flying or swimming robots has one spanwise shaft and
many ribs, the ribs can swing in their individual planes perpendicular to the shaft or the …

Insect wings are heterogeneous structures, with flexural rigidity varying one to two orders of
magnitude over the wing surface. This heterogeneity influences the deformation the flapping …

Insect-scale flapping wing flight vehicles can conduct environmental monitoring, disaster
assessment, mapping, positioning and security in complex and challenging surroundings …

Three-dimensional numerical simulations are performed to examine the effects of dynamic
wing morphing of a hummingbird-inspired flexible flapping wing on its aerodynamic …

A computational co-simulation framework for flying robots with flexible wings is presented.
The authors combine a nonlinear aerodynamic model based on an extended version of the …

Active twisting morphing (ATM) wings have significant implications for biomimetic swimming
or flying robotic vehicles. This article considers an ATM wing that has one shaft with many …
