The effect of localised stiffening on the stability of a flexible panel in uniform flow

The three-dimensional stability of a fluid-loaded flexible panel is studied to determine the effectiveness of adding localised stiffening to control or postpone instability. A hybrid of computational and theoretical modelling is used to cast an eigenvalue problem for the fluid-structure system. It i...
