DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nProf. Kenny Breuer\, Department of Mechanical Engin
 eering\, Brown University\nTitle:\nAero-mechanics of compliant membranes 
 – from bat flight to flexible wings\nAbstract:\nBats are capable of extr
 emely maneuverable flight\, enabled by the use of  highly compliant membr
 ane wings. Motivated by experiments in our lab on bat flight\, we consider
  the fluid structure interactions between elastic membranes and their surr
 ounding flow. Our work combines experiments on compliant membranes\, their
  steady and unsteady behavior\, along with a linearize theory that couples
  unsteady potential flow to a linear membrane equation. We look at the beh
 avior of steady membranes as well as flapping wings.  Lastly we will desc
 ribe the use of active compliance – in which we dynamically control the 
 tension of the membrane – to modify the  interactions between the membr
 ane and the separated shear layer that forms at the leading edge of the th
 in membrane wing.
