...) as well as examples of exploiting structural instabilities in acoustic and mechanical metamaterials. For conservative linear systems, one can exploit the equivalence of static and dynamic stability, following Hill [ 79 ] and Koiter [ 84 ], which led to simplified stability analyses. For example...

... of suitable disturbances in the incoming flow, it defied easy scaling. Ventilation elimination, as described, is the collective name given to any process that degrades an existing cavity in size or stability. Elimination is less hysteretic than formation [ 25 ] and typically occurs when the conditions...

... of composites to enable passive morphing capabilities to delay cavitation and improve overall energy efficiency, agility, and dynamic stability. Moreover, active materials can be embedded inside composites to enable energy harvesting, in situ health and condition monitoring, mitigation and control of flow...

... with Galerkin models based on unstable global modes and balanced modes. Particular attention has to be paid to stability–robustness properties of the control law. Specifically, we show that large delays and strong amplification between the control input and the estimation sensor may be detrimental both...

The present review article is focused on summarizing the state of the art related to the inelastic dynamic stability and postbuckling behavior of various basic...

In addition, studies dealing with particular dynamical problems involving finite deformations, eg, dynamic buckling, stability, and flutter of shells coupled to flowing fluids, are also discussed. This review is structured as follows: after a short introduction on some...
