I am trying to do flutter analysis for a wing using fluid structure interaction technique. I know that I need to do simultaneous coupling but couldn't figure out how to do it. Can anyone here give some more detail guide on how I should do it. I am using ANSYS and ANSYS CFX. There is tutorial that come with the software but it is not about flutter analysis.

Thanks,

Freddie

Notes on other parts of the course are also online.

Question about Gyroscopic Effects

Submitted by Xin Qian on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 18:26

Gyroscopic effects is a very old topic.

When reading
literature, I am confused by the two concepts: "gyroscopic moment", and
"Coriolis force". Are they exactly the same thing or different? what's
the difference between them if different?
