Solving the thoracic inverse problem in the fruit fly
Arion Pons, Illy Perl, Omri Ben-Dov +2
In many insect species, the thoracic structure plays a crucial role in enabling flight. In the dipteran indirect flight mechanism, the thorax acts as a transmission link between th…
Work-loop techniques for optimising nonlinear forced oscillators
Arion Pons, Tsevi Beatus
Linear and nonlinear resonant states can be restrictive: they exist at particular discrete states in frequency and/or elasticity, under particular (e.g., simple-harmonic) waveforms…
Quaternion variational integration for inertial maneuvering in a biomimetic UAV
Arion Pons, Fehmi Cirak
Biological flying, gliding, and falling creatures are capable of extraordinary forms of inertial maneuvering: free-space maneuvering based on fine control of their multibody dynami…
Band-type resonance: non-discrete energetically-optimal resonant states
Arion Pons, Tsevi Beatus
Structural resonance involves the absorption of inertial loads by a tuned structural elasticity: a process playing a key role in a wide range of biological and technological system…
Distinct forms of resonant optimality within insect indirect flight motors
Arion Pons, Tsevi Beatus
Insect flight motors are extraordinary natural structures that operate efficiently at high frequencies. Structural resonance is thought to play a role in ensuring efficient motor o…
Pseudospectral continuation for aeroelastic stability analysis
Arion Pons
This technical note is concerned with aeroelastic flutter problems: the analysis of aeroelastic systems undergoing airspeed-dependent dynamic instability. Existing continuation met…
Multiaxis nose-pointing-and-shooting in a biomimetic morphing-wing aircraft
Arion Pons, Fehmi Cirak
Modern high-performance combat aircraft exceed conventional flight-envelope limits on maneuverability through the use of thrust vectoring, and so achieve supermaneuverability. With…
