Fluid-structure interaction of a two-dimensional membrane in a flow with a pressure gradient with application to convertible car roofs

The flow-induced deformation of a membrane in a flow with a pressure gradient is studied. The investigation focuses on the deformation of aerodynamically loaded convertible car roofs. A computational methodology is developed with a line-elementstructural model that incorporates initial slackness of...
