Abstract
In this paper the dynamics of an oscillator with two degrees-of-freedom of a double seesaw type in a windtunnel is studied. Model equations for this aeroelastic oscillator are derived and an analysis of these equations is given for the non-resonant case. A typical result is a (local codimension two) bifurcation which describes the transfer from the unstable equilibrium state to one of the two normal modes of the oscillator. Some experimental results are presented from which on may conclude that more accurate model equations should be developed.
