  • Abstract
    We present algorithms for use in optimization of CC or CF beam parameters in aeroelastic flutter in Normal as well as Axial Flow-for piezoelectric power harvesting. In particular we show that the flutter speed is nearly inversely proportional to the beam length for fixed aspect ratio.
