Presentation of my PhD work about a preliminary design tool for flapping-wing systems. The presentation is about the definition/implementation of an aeroelastic framework that coupled an aerodynamic model of insect flight with a FEM solver, its numerical and experimental validation for preliminary design tasks and finally about its applications to the specific case of a resonant nano-air vehicle: the OVMI. Thus the designers can evaluate quickly the performance of a wing and then determine a wing geometry via an optimization environment. Enjoy!
