    • Induced strain actuation of composite plates 

      Lazarus, Kenneth B.; Crawley, Edward F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1989], 1989)
      Two models of induced strain plate actuator/substrate systems are developed and verified experimentally. Equations relating the actuation strains produced by the strain actuators to the induced strains found in the system ...

    • Measurements of aerodynamic damping on the MIT transonic rotor 

      Crawley, Edward F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1981], 1981)
      A method has been developed and demonstrated for the direct measurement of aerodynamic forcing and aerodynamic damping of a transonic compressor. The method is based on the inverse solution of the structural dynamic equations ...

    • Optimal mistuning for enhanced aeroelastic stability of transonic fans 

      Hall, Kenneth C.; Crawley, Edward F. ([Washington, D.C.? : National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1983], 1983)
      An inverse design procedure was developed for the design of a mistuned rotor. The design requirements are that the stability margin of the eigenvalues of the aeroelastic system be greater than or equal to some minimum ...
