DOI: 10.1016/j.jsv.2020.115921
Abstract: Abstract Marine lifting surfaces may undergo flow-induced vibrations due to fluid sources of excitation, leading to shorter life cycles due to structural fatigue and critical to the acoustic performances (e.g hydrofoil singing). As such, accurate… read more here.
