Nonlinear aeroelastic study of a three-degrees-of-freedom airfoil with control surface hysteresis stiffness in a dynamic stall flow

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...
