Aeroelasticity

  • Overview of the subject

    Upon aircraft structures, in an atmospheric flight, inertial, elastic, and aerodynamic loads will act, and a unique behavior will occur by an interaction among these loads. This may induce static and dynamic instability called “divergence” and “flutter.” In this class, an analytical methodology to estimate such loads will be treated and phenomena unique to fixed, rotary wing aircrafts and turbine engines. Also, an effort to alleviate these problems based on control methodologies will be introduced.
