Vibration of flexible bodies
Aug 15, 2006
[Work done as a part of B.Tech project at IIT Kharagpur]
Part I: In the first part of the project we studied the stability of flow over flexible surfaces. We linearized the Navier Stoke's equations and thus studied the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation using numerical techniques to determine the critical Reynold's number.
Part II: In this part of the project we studied the short-period dynamics and stability of a flexible missile under various forces acting on it during its flight.
