Experimental studies were carried out on aspect-ratios of 2 and 3 rectangular polyethylene terephthalate membranes to clarify the effects of aspect-ratio on membrane flapping dynamics and strain energy distribution for Reynolds numbers from 3228 to 9732. Flapping modes similar to our previous study...
