A theoretical study of a slender engineering structure with lateral and angular deflections is investigated under the action of flow-induced vibrations. This aero-elastic instability excites and couples the system’s bending and torsion modes. Semiactive means due to open-loop parametric excitation are introduced to stabilize this self-excitation mechanism. The parametric excitation mechanism is modeled by time-harmonic variation in the concentrated mass and/or moment of inertia. The conditions for full suppression of the self-excited vibrations are determined analytically and compared with numerical results of an example system. For the first time, example systems are presented for which parametric antiresonance is established at the parametric combination frequency of the sum type.
