Passive control of instability of flexible panels in a mean flow

A hybrid of theoretical and computational methods is developed and used to show that localised stiffness added to flexible panels can reduce their susceptibility to flow-induced damage caused by static- and flutter-type instabilities of the panel. Both two- and three-dimensional flow-structure syste...
