| Summary: | A device was built that provides smooth non-linear restoring cams and linear extension springs to produce the restoring desired response was not entirely successful. The device exhibited significant damping, especially in plunge, and the forces and moments to the pitch and plunge of a wing in a forces which can be tailored independently for each degree- forces. The design of a program to predict a cam shape for a of-freedom. Circular cam shapes were seen to produce linear reduction of this damping should be a priority for future responses while other shapes produce non-linear restoring wind tunnel. The device uses an innovative combination of work. |
