Title THE BEHAVIOR OF FLUTTERTNG OF MEMBRANE SUSPENDED IN WIND TUNNEL AIR FLOW AND THE PROPERTIES OF THE FREQUENCY
Author Hirokazu Minam,Yasuo Okuda,Sumio Kawamura
Summary As result of experiments,it was proved that a suspended membrane took stable fluttering condition with a simple wave configuration when the membrane was subjected to uniform air flow in a wind tunnel. And it was proved that the membrane had a linear relation between the frequency of thef1 uttering and the air flow speed. It was supposed that a nondimensional parameter,αl,was connected with a function of another nondimensional parameter,mass ratio. Where α is the slope of the linear air f1ow-frequency line. and l is the distance between supports of the membrane specimen. Further, the ratios of the measured speed of the progressive wave shape to air flow speed were between 0 .4 and 0.7. It was found that the ratio was smaller for heavier membrane.
