Abstract | ||
Torsional flutter occurs at 2D rectangular cylinders with side ratios B/D smaller than about 8 or 10. On the other hand, slender cylinders indicate the occurrence of coupled flutter, which means the coupled derivatives of slender cylinders have more significant role for flutter instability than that of bluffer ones. In this paper, based upon so called | ||
