Large Deflections of Inextensible Cantilevers: Modeling, Theory, and Simulation
Maria Deliyianni, Varun Gudibanda, Jason Howell +1
A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than trad…

A Thorough Look at the (In)Stability of Piston-theoretic Beams
Jason Howell, Katelynn Huneycutt, Justin T. Webster +1
We consider a beam model representing the transverse deflections of a one dimensional elastic structure immersed in an axial fluid flow. The model includes a nonlinear elastic rest…

A Cantilevered Extensible Beam in Axial Flow: Semigroup Well-posedness and Post-flutter Regimes
Jason Howell, Daniel Toundykov, Justin T. Webster
We consider a cantilevered (clamped-free) beam in an axial potential flow. Certain flow velocities may bring about a bounded-response instability in the structure, termed {\em flut…
