   Abstract:
   A computational investigation of limit cycle oscillation behavior of the F-16 fighter configuration using a nonlinear frequency-domain harmonic-balance approach is presented. Computed limit cycle response results correlate well with experiment. Details of the computational model and methodology are presented. Copyright © 2004 by Jeffrey P. Thomas, Earl H.
