Course Description
This course is designed to teach students interested in flight mechanics the basic principles of modern aeroelasticity. A review of structural dynamics includes mechanical vibrations, modal representations, and transient response. Quasi-steady and unsteady aerodynamics of pitching and plunging airfoils and wings are discussed. Presentation of steady and dynamic aeroelastic phenomena of divergence, aileron reversal, flutter, and airload redistribution. Approximate solution methods are stressed, followed by discussions of aeroelastic tailoring and aeroelastic analysis software.
