SUMMARY:MAE Seminar: A Novel Approach for Aeroelastic Modeling Using an Eff
 icient One-shot Method
DESCRIPTION:MAE Seminar: A Novel Approach for Aeroelastic Modeling Using an
  Efficient One-shot Method\nDate: March 31\, 2026\nTime: 12:50 PM Location
 : MAE-A 303\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, we introduce a new solution techni
 que called the one-shot method to determine flutter and limit-cycle oscill
 ations in aerospace systems. In essence\, the one-shot method is developed
  to predict aeroelastic response of wings and airfoils in a tightly-couple
 d fashion where both aerodynamic and structural dynamic problems are solve
 d simultaneously using the so-called harmonic balance. This approach is su
 perior to the frequency-based techniques previously reported in the litera
 ture such that it eliminates the need to sweep over a range of frequencies
  to determine flutter conditions. For each Mach number of interest\, the v
 alues of flutter frequency and flutter velocity are determined as part of 
 a single aeroelastic run. It is shown that the flutter onset point for giv
 en flow conditions can be accurately identified by prescribing a very smal
 l pitch amplitude treating flutter prediction as a response problem instea
 d of the classical stability problem.\n\nBiography\nKivanc Ekici is curren
 tly the Department Head and John W. Fisher Professor in the Mechanical\, A
 erospace and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee-Knoxvil
 le (UTK). His research interests cover a wide-range of topics including CF
 D modeling\, Hypersonics\, development of novel and efficient solution te
 chniques\, unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity\, turbomachinery and a
 djoint-based design optimization. Kivanc and his group developed novel tec
 hniques including unsteady aerodynamic modeling based on the time-spectra
 l (TS) harmonic balance (HB) technique as well as fully-automated adjoint 
 sensitivity analysis. At UTK\, his research group focused on HB-based aero
 elastic design optimization\, the development of the state-of-the-art one-
 shot aeroelastic modeling technique\, and operator-overloading-based adjo
 int methods\, to name a few. Dr. Ekici is the recipient of the NSF CAREER 
 Award and he has been a PI/Co-PI for multiple projects during his tenure. 
 He earned his PhD degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Purdue Univ
 ersity.\n\nFaculty Host: Dr. Patrick Musgrave
