Abstract
A flexible plate located in the wake of an obstacle is usually forced to vibrate by the periodic vortices shedding from the obstacle. In this chapter, a flexible filament is placed in the wake of a cylinder to investigate the response of a flexible plate in the wake. The force is measured by two methods. The filaments exhibit lock-in behaviour to the wake. Three response modes are found by changing the distance between the filaments and cylinders. The observations are illustrated in terms of waving plate theory.
